"That is why, Scott," the crimson-purple haired girl continued, grabbing the Deputy General's attention. "That is why we need your Cosmic Inclination."
"Huh?" Sothing seed to break in Scott. Trying to get himself back together was hard, and what was harder was that the girl didn't give him any chance to process everything she said.
She was just dumbing one shocking piece of information after the other without paying much attention to his ntal health.
"Scott, will you beco my subordinate?" The girl finally asked, her tone as calm as ever. So would even call her tone cold.
"What? Your subordinate? Why? How? Is that possible?" Scott relayed his tangled thoughts that were ssing with his sanity.
*Sigh*
"Tu," Raven called after a soft sigh that indicated how tired she really was. Instantly, a crimson aura started to condense next to her.
Out of that aura, a familiar figure appeared, smiled, and waved towards Scott. "Hayo~ long ti no see, Cosmic Inclination Wielder."
Tu's over friendly tone seed to restore Scott's face's colour. An annoyed and tense expression painted his face. "The Crimson Dragon of Death…"
"Hehe, you can call Tu, that's alright, we're old friends after all! Aren't we?" Tu said cheerfully with a gaze that so night call too innocent or too stupid.
Scott gritted his teeth and clenched his fists to prevent himself from jumping on the person that has destroyed his planet and killed his people.
Not waiting for Scott to start blabbering again, the young girl spoke with urgency. "Tu will be your instructor for whatever ti we have left. Make sure to learn well."
Scott pursed his lips. He didn't want to. He would rather die. But at the sa ti… he rembered what this girl had just said, 'we need your Cosmic Inclination,' and that wasn't all, but she also asked him to beco her subordinate…
"Tu will train your eyes. You will have to strengthen your Cosmic Inclination if you want to be of any help in the coming war." The girl said with her casual tone, yet Scott could now see the slight marks of worry in her face. "Also, once you're ready, let Tu know and I'll turn you into a subordinate of mine-"
"How?" Scott interjected quickly. "How will you turn into a subordinate of yours? And what benefit would that give or give you?"
"You will beco stronger, of course," she answered calmly. "Trust , I don't have plans of making everyone my subordinate, but for to be able to share my powers with you, you must beco my subordinate.
"You see, for demons, devils, or daemons," Raven said, making Scott gulp loudly. "For those species, it's as simple as undergoing a naming ritual. But for other species that are not part of the Sinners' Realm, or rather what we call the Demon Plane, it is much more complicated.
"To clarify, I can't grant my powers to soone who is not a subordinate of mine.Think of it as a prerequisite. So, it is up to you to decide whether you want to beco stronger and help, or just hide with the rest."
"Oh, and ntion this to Ramira when you et her. Additionally, gather everyone that's above triple S rank and get them ready to train under Tu.
"Anyone who is only double S rank will be left to take care of the bunkers and keep the people alive and organised. Of course, you can continue the Tournant of the Elite as usual since Kayla is using that to gather promising rankers.
"We will grant promising subordinate candidates additional powers once they prove they can handle it. Even though they may not surpass the required rank, so participants have so pretty good skills that will be valuable even at a low rank."
"So you were using the Tournant and the Class of the Elite to your advantage from the start?" Scott asked warily.
"Not from the start… My friend, Kayla, has always wanted to roam around, have friends, and test her powers. I thought that the Elite Class would be her chance to have a semi-normal student life where she can accomplish what she wanted.
"But you see, there was a change in plans at the mont we learnt about the invasion.
"Scott, you don't need to be wary of ." She added. "After all, we both want to save the planet. Isn't that right?"
He only grit his teeth.
*Sigh"
"Oh, before I forget," the girl sighed softly while fixing a lone strand of crimson-purple that strayed away from the rest and decided to cover her face. "Alka, my Devil Lord, will be training those Kayla deems qualified."
"I see," Scott said while looking at the still kneeling neon green haired Devil Lord. He still could not believe that a legendary existence such as a Devil Lord was humbly kneeling to this weak looking girl. 'No, I should know more than anyone else the amount of power this girl has…'
He could not help but glance at Tu who was busy playing with a grand of his crimson hair that would make most girls jealous of how soft and beautiful it looked.
"Also," the girl said again as her hair fluttered so more under the effect of the sudden cold breeze. "Scott, where are the Generals?"
Scott gasped before looking at the ground.
"I've t two Deputy Generals, so where are the Generals?" She asked again.
"Are they the ones who warned you about the future invasion in three months?" She asked casually. It wasn't a real question, she was just confirming her suspicion.
"Uhm," Scott nodded in defeat under her gaze. "The Generals are part of the Supre Galactic Alliance… they are the strongest Earth has to offer…"
The Supre Galactic Alliance. Raven has heard of this organisation before. Joey had warned her about them.
Although she was afraid to ask, Raven had recently requested more information about her past from Joey.
'Although I am not sure the reason for the war, I am certain that the people behind the war and the destruction of planet Erembourc were part of the Supre Galactic Alliance.' Joey had a look of disgust when ntioning their na.
Although she knew so parts of Joey's information were not accurate, she was certain that the Supre Galactic Alliance has contributed towards the war on her planet, Erembourc.
'But I guess I ended up here, eting Maria, Maya, and the rest because of that,' she thought with a ntal shrug, although she seed to have opened up a closed wound, and a deep one at that. 'Maya…'
"Naturally," Scott continued as he didn't realize the swirl of emotions hiding behind the girl's stoic expression. "The Generals have access to information that we could not obtain anywhere else aside from the Supre Galactic Alliance. They told us about the invasion, or rather warned us about it.
"That is why I'm rather curious… how do you know about the invasion of the angels? Or whatever you'd call it; Divine Invasion? Angelic Invasion?" Scott asked, expressing his doubts for the first ti. "And wait… How, no, when did you hear about this? There's no way you just heard about it…"
