Human World, Kuoh Academy.
When it got completely dark, there was no one else in the Kuoh Academy. Only the old school building in the woods behind the school building was still brightly lit, and people could be seen passing by the window from time to time.
This old school building is the location of the Kuoh Academy Occult Research Club, which is also the base camp of Gremory Peerage.
Unlike Leo who only regards Sobu High School as an event location, the Kuoh Academy that Rias Gremory studies is actually run secretly by her family and is considered her own property. Therefore, when Rias Gremory is affected by When she was entrusted by the upper echelons of the Devil world to take over the territory of Kuoh Town in the human world, and work with her family members on the business of signing contracts with humans, collecting prices, and conquering Stray Devil, she directly enrolled in the Kuoh Academy, and also attracted her friend Sona Sitri Sidi to the school.
In other words, Rias Gremory is the underground Queen of this academy. Even if this level is unknown, she can still obtain privileges in many places, such as using an entire old school building as an activity area for her club. It is estimated that only she can do it.
Of course, although Leo's status in Sobu High School is not as good as Rias Gremory's status in the Kuoh Academy, its influence is not much different. Many high-level school officials are his connections, and there are also people who are his Devil's business is a regular customer, and the influence of a local wealthy family like Yukinoshita Family in the school now almost belongs to him. If he wants to be like Rias Gremory and move a school building into Occult Research Club's activity room, then maybe he can do it.
It's just that Leo doesn't think it's necessary. He only regards Sobu High School as the location for daily activities. The real base camp is his own manor. Unlike Rias Gremory, who directly regards the entire Kuoh Academy as his own territory, so he thinks it is enough to have an activity room as a base.
At this time, voices could be faintly heard from many rooms in this old school building.
Some people are discussing what happened during the day, some are resting, and some are treating their injuries.
Yukino Yukinoshita was lying on a hospital bed in a room that looked like an infirmary, still wearing loose clothes, looking like he was recovering from a serious illness.
Leo is sitting next to the hospital bed, peeling an apple for Yukino Yukinoshita.
"Your injury has undergone preliminary treatment and is no longer serious. However, you still need to lie in bed and rest for a while before you can fully recover."
Leo followed Yukino Yukinoshita in conversation.
"Until you fully recover from your injuries, we will temporarily stay in the Kuoh Academy and wait for you to recover before returning to Chiba."
Leo told Yukino Yukinoshita about the current situation in general, and Yukino Yukinoshita was also listening silently. It was not until Leo stopped that he asked.
"Where are the others?"
Yukino Yukinoshita's inquiry was met with an angry expression from Leo.
"Of all the people, you are the most seriously injured. Do you still have time to care about others?" Leo said so, but still answered Yukino Yukinoshita's question, saying, "Utaha and Mahiru are in the best condition at the moment. They are basically uninjured. It's just that excessive use of Sacred Gear led to excessive consumption and collapse. Just rest for a while."
"Asuna is not a big deal. She is Excalibur User. Whether she encounters monsters or Devil, she can have a great advantage. She can also provide teammates with the holy sword as a weapon. So although she inevitably suffered some injuries when she encountered Stray Mage, the injuries were not serious and she was cured quickly. Now she can get out of bed."
After talking about his own affairs, Leo started talking about the conditions of Gremory Peerage and Sitri Peerage.
Their conditions are actually very different from Eligos Peerage. Some are in good condition, some are in bad condition, but basically no one is in serious condition.
Because Koneko Toujou and Tsubasa Yura were protected by the barrier of Utaha Kasumigaoka, they were not threatened during the whole process. They were in the best condition and did not even suffer any injuries.
Reya Kusaka and Momo Hanakai also had close calls because Mahiru Shiina released the power of Holy Cross regardless of the cost. They only had to stand up to protect Mahiru Shiina when Mahiru Shiina consumed too much and collapsed due to exhaustion, thus suffering some minor injuries.
Because Asuna Yuuki always provided her with the holy sword, Tomoe Meguri performed particularly well. They fought side by side with Asuna Yuuki, and they cooperated very well. Therefore, they waited until Leo eliminated Leif and became the new master of Labyrinth Space. They used the center to open the channel and then went to rescue.
Akeno Himejima and Tsubaki Shinra's injuries were relatively serious, but their strength was also the strongest among all the dependents. With each other's support, they managed to survive until they received support from Rias Gremory and Sona Shitori.
The most seriously injured were Yuuto Kiba and Ruruko Nimura.
One of the two people was seriously injured and fell into a coma, losing consciousness and not knowing whether he was alive or dead. The other was fighting hard and had one of his hands chewed off. His whole body was covered with scars of varying degrees, large and small, and he was almost on the verge of death.
Although Yukino Yukinoshita was also pierced through the abdomen by Devil Slayer, and part of her flesh and blood was eaten away, she dealt with it in a timely manner and immediately sealed the wound with ice to avoid bleeding and secondary trauma.
But these two people were different. They were seriously injured and almost lost their lives. When Rias Gremory and Sona Shitori rushed over, the place where Ruruko Nimura was lying had turned into a large pool of blood, and his breathing had stopped. Yuuto Kiba had an unknown number of monsters hanging on his body, all of them gnawing at his body. Rias Gremory and Sona Shitori became furious on the spot and blasted all the monsters until they were completely destroyed before they gave up.
"Right now, those two people have not yet regained consciousness, and their injuries have only undergone simple treatment. They are not even out of danger yet."
Leo said so.
These two people are also the only ones whose injuries are more serious than Yukino Yukinoshita.
"Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri are ready to go back to Underworld and apply for two bottles of Tears of the Phoenix to come and treat them."
Tears of the Phoenix is the product of the Phenex Clan among the seven stems and two pillars Devil. It is a healing holy medicine that can instantly cure any injury.
In the past, Phenex was regarded as the holy beast in charge of life and was revered by people. Its tears can heal any injury and its blood can make people immortal. There are related legends in many countries in the human world. As a holy beast, Phenex has another branch in the Devil world that has received the status of marquis and is listed as one of 72 Pillars. It belongs to the branch of Devil and is a very famous Devil family.
They are Devil who are in charge of fire, wind and life. Just like the legendary Phoenix, they have fire that can burn even the scales of a dragon and an immortal body that can be resurrected immediately even if it is destroyed. They can also make Tears of the Phoenix that can heal any injury, so they are highly sought after in the Devil world and have a high status.
Nowadays, due to the popularity of Rating Game, Tears of the Phoenix is also regarded as a must-have necessity during competitions, and is often used as a prop in competitions, making the status of the Phenex Clan even higher.
"It's a pity that your injuries are not serious enough to apply for Tears of the Phoenix for treatment. Otherwise, I can take the opportunity to put it to use for you."
Leo said this like a joke, making Yukino Yukinoshita frown beautifully.
"I don't want to have the chance to use that kind of thing." Yukino Yukinoshita snorted lightly and said, "Let's leave it to classmates Kiba and Nimura. They need it more than me."
"If your words were heard by Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri, I'm afraid they would be mad to death." Leo laughed and said immediately, "In short, everyone is currently There are no big problems. Even Kiba and Nimura, by this time tomorrow, the injuries should be cured with Tears of the Phoenix, so don't worry too much."
"Your job is to have a good rest and recover quickly so that others don't worry about you."
"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about me, the master who saw you lying on the ground covered in blood with my own eyes. Don't let me have the chance to suffer from myocardial infarction."
God knows, how did Leo feel when he saw Yukino Yukinoshita lying on the ground covered in blood?
If Yukino Yukinoshita were still human, he could use Evil Piece's reincarnation ritual to revive her and let her be reborn as Devil, but Yukino Yukinoshita is now Reincarnated Devil. If she dies, she is really dead.
Although, due to the characteristics of "Peerage Transformation", even if Yukino Yukinoshita dies, her soul will return to her master Leo. As long as Leo has a way to reshape her body, she can be resurrected, but what if her soul is also destroyed by Power of Destruction?
Then it's really hopeless.
Therefore, when I saw that scene, Leo's heart still beat hard.
Fortunately, Yukino Yukinoshita just passed out, which made him breathe a big sigh of relief.
Just----
"I thought you would lose to Sharon Holly Greer. Unexpectedly, when I passed by, you had already opened the passage to that room and headed to the next room."
Speaking of this, Leo was also a little surprised.
"Although you lost consciousness in the passage and passed out, so you were unable to reach the next room, but this also proves that you defeated the nun and won, right?"
Leo really didn't expect that despite being seriously injured, Yukino Yukinoshita could actually turn defeat and defeat Sharon Holly Greer, pass the test in the first room, and open the passage to the next room.
"Well done, you can avenge the failure last time."
Leo praised Yukino Yukinoshita.
However, Yukino Yukinoshita did not show any joy or happiness, but instead had a haze on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Leo saw this, frowned, and asked.
"----I have something to tell you."
Yukino Yukinoshita was silent for a while, then looked at Leo.
She fully told what she had experienced at that time----
