Kiba Yuuto was missing.
Jin didn't expect that but was expecting that at the sa ti. Sitting on the couch, he leaned his back and looked at the ceiling with a tired gaze.
"Why did they always choose a foolish decision like this?" He sighed, murmuring to himself.
With her excellent hearing, Sona was able to hear him. "They aren't perfect. People say humans are the most imperfect creation of God; well, they aren't wrong. But in this world, Devils are the most imperfect creature that ever existed."
"Because Devils are the embodint of sins?" Jin asked, glancing at her. She nodded with a small smile, to which he replied with a small scoff.
"I am too tired of this. Can you tell why Kiba is so fixated on Holy Swords? That gaze full of hate isn't normal at all. There must be sothing behind it."
"There is indeed sothing," Sona replied, making Jin narrow his eyes. "And it's indeed related to Holy Swords, especially Excalibur."
"As expected." He replied with a smirk. "So? What's he doing in the past with that Excalibur that made him hate the sword as if it was his mortal enemy?"
"He's"
Sona started to explain to Jin what had happened to Kiba. It was all sothing she had heard from Rias, and she didn't go into details. She also didn't really know about the details, only the surface area of what had happened.
Firstly, she told him about how Kiba was an orphan. Kiba Yuuto wasn't even his real na, but Sona didn't know his previous na either because Rias kept it a secret. Sona ntioned Rias Gremory's peerage mbers all had problematic pasts, which made Jin grimace when he heard her explanation.
He already knew about Koneko, as Kuroka told him already. But all of them? That ant it included even Akeno. Jin really wanted to know whether his decision to target Rias was correct.
Sona assured him it was fine, as most of them had already co to a conclusion about their past, which apparently not yet. Seeing how Kiba disappeared the morning after he ca into a eting with one of the Excalibur fragnts.
Her story didn't end yet. She continued into the most important part. It was about the church, or soone from the church, doing secret inhuman experints.
Many orphans were gathered in one place, trained, and tortured. Torture, not in a literal aning, but they experienced sothing similar to torture in that place. Bad food, bad clothing, and a strict regin.
Day after day, the children gathered would be subjected to inhuman experints. The people who conducted the experint tried to make them fit to wield Excalibur. But they couldn't handle it any longer. The children perished one by one, and the project was deed a failure.
The remaining subjects were to be disposed of. The detail was unknown, she added.
"All of that is to make them a Holy Sword wielder, naly Holy Sword Project," Sona concluded. "And Kiba is the sole survivor of that project."
"That explains everything," Jin comnted. "If he's the survivor of an inhuman project, then I can understand where his hatred ca from. More so after all his comrades were massacred."
"Indeed." She nodded. "That's why his disappearance causes worry to Rias and . I planned to have my peerage find him, but you arrived before that."
"Hmm" He humd.
Jin understood. From that information, he could sohow guess Kiba's movent. Combined with his Senjutsu, he would be able to trace the blonde boy. If he wasn't wrong, then
"Cease that effort, Sona. Kiba will return after school if what I guessed is right. If not, then I will help you to find him."
"So we indeed have the sa thought." Sona grinned. "I know he will return on his own today after I heard what happened last night from you."
"As expected from you, Sona." He grinned back. "While we are at it, do you feel sothing different with your body?"
"Sothing different?" She asked. "Co to think of it What did you do to !" She scread, pointing her finger at Jin. "I can feel sothing around the school! Thanks to that, I was about to faint when I t with my sister!"
'So it worked?' Jin thought, chuckling at Sona's accusation.
From her words, he found out that his skills were successfully shared. And thankfully, she didn't try anything funny yet.
It was just a day after that passed. Knowing that she could use Senjutsu just fine was enough. It would be a bit troubleso if she sohow panicked and used the Power of Destruction in front of her sister.
Jin believed that Sona's sister was overprotective. He knew she would do anything to keep Sona's secret and keep her away from harm. At best, maybe she would give him a visit and ask him to explain everything.
"Don't tell you really did sothing?" Sona narrowed her eyes, looking straight at Jin.
"I did," Jin answered truthfully. "Rember yesterday? When you happily drink my sen." He smirked playfully as Sona's face flushed red, rembering what they did yesterday.
"D-Don't ntion that! I I was really embarrassed by how I acted after I cald down!"
"You were so cute back then." He said. "Anyway, I shared my skill with you as you drank my sen. I can still use it just fine, but you are now able to regenerate like a Phenex family, use a Power of Destruction, and even Senjutsu."
Sona's mouth flapped open after Jin dropped the bomb. She froze with her mouth open; Heck, she didn't even realize her glasses slipped from her ear and was about to fall.
"Jin to Sona." Jin approached Sona and waved his hand in front of her face. "Hello? Are you there?"
"Hah!?" She gasped. "C-Can you repeat it again?" She asked, fixing her glasses.
"Sure." He nodded. "You are now able to regenerate like a Phenex family, use a Power of Destruction, and even Senjutsu. How is it? Good, right? You are stronger than Rias now."
"I see" She nodded, but Jin noticed her body trembled. Whether it was from excitent or fear, he didn't know. "I see I-I will do my best to keep it a secret." She said.
"I know I can count on you, Sona." He smiled happily.

In the hallway, Sona's peerage mbers walked away from the student council room, following Tsubaki. They didn't really mind too much about being chased out because it wasn't the first ti Sona had done it.
But, one of them was still confused and couldn't understand it.
"Fuku-Kaichou" The only man in Sona's peerage called out to Tsubaki, which made her turn around.
"Yes, Saji-kun?"
"Kaichou said Hyoudou is her fiance, is it true?" He asked. His lips trembled, frustrated.
Saji Genshirou was a boy with passion. He happily accepted Sona's offer to be her pawn because he had longed for her. He was in love with her.
"That's true."
Tsubaki's answer only broke his heart further.
"Hyoudou Jin is a wonderful man. You will like him when you know him further."
" I see." Saji replied, clearly dispirited.
"S-Saji-kun." A girl with a twin-tailed brown girl called out to him. She was Nimura Ruruko, the only pawn in the peerage beside Saji. "P-Please cheer up!" She said, raising her fist.
Looking at her made Saji smile a little. "Yeah" He said. "That's right!"
For so reason, there was determination in his eyes. "You're correct. I need to cheer up. Thank you, Nimura-san!"
"Yes." Ruruko smiled.
'Hyoudou Jin!' He called out a na in his mind. 'I will prove that I am the man who's better suited for Kaichou! As long as they haven't married yet, then I still have the chance! We are rivals from now on!'
"My, it seems he has decided on sothing." Tsubaki muttered as he looked at Saji. Turning around, she continued in a low voice. "I am a bit sad for him."
