Playing With Other Supernaturals Chapter 912 Riveria’s Demonic Power part 2

"V-very wrong?" Riveria was surprised at Elaine's choice of words because she couldn't really see anything wrong with her conclusion.

"Yes." Elaine nodded with a serious expression, "Due to how things in your own world worked, you've misunderstood the beings called Devils."

Elaine asked Riveria to sit down before continuing, "I won't bla you, though. And I can sohow understand why Kisuke Urahara let you have this kind of mindset."

Riveria looked at her hand and let the foreign energy that was different from Magic Power flow through it, albeit, not doing anything nor being converted to sothing useful, "...Please tell more.", she muttered full of confusion, along with the ergence of a crack in the trust she had given Kisuke.

"The Magic system of your world automatically grants the user the knowledge of how to use it without the need to understand the principle behind it. It's not wrong to think that this isn't your power since it could also be taken away from you just by resetting your 'Level'."

"On the other hand, Devil reincarnation has filled what's supposedly taken away from you and given you the ability to manifest Demonic Power, with Kisuke Urahara providing most of it. Indeed, if it was explained to you that way, it's still the sa as before, which is technically true but also not the whole story, hence, a misunderstanding was born. Lady Riveria... What do you think a Devil is and what do you think about their Demonic Power?"

Riveria took a deep breath and set aside her thoughts for now, "Devils are offshoots of a part of the Biblical God and Demonic Power is the manifestation of their power that uses the power of imagination. It's an unreasonable power."

"I see..." Elaine muttered, "That description of Devils could have only co from high-ranking books that aren't available to most people. It seems that Kisuke Urahara didn't hold back. Although that only expanded your misunderstanding more."

"..." Riveria remained quiet as she clenched her fist, feeling betrayed.

"...Uhmmm... He probably has a good reason, Riveria-sama. Let's listen to Elaine for now. Although she's not good with social cues and interactions, her experience in Magic and anything related to it is far greater than mine." Le Fay tried to comfort Riveria, though at the price of attacking her maid.

"...Ehem..." Elaine frowned for a bit but didn't say anything against it since she knew of this shortcoming of hers, "To resolve this misunderstanding, you first need to take your mind away from the fact that Kisuke Urahara's Demonic Power is filling what's missing, to the fact that you're a real Devil."

"Demonic Power can only be wielded by Devils and even if you're a reincarnated one, there are no Devils without Demonic Power of their own. This ans that you're generating your own Demonic Power as we speak. Because you've just reincarnated, it'll be slow at the start, but it should ramp up as ti goes by."

"T-then, do you an..." Elaine didn't have to finish what she had to say for Riveria to co to a correct conclusion.

Elaine nodded, "Yes. Soti in the future, your dependence on Kisuke Urahara's Demonic Power will cease. So he's only filling up the gaps, for now."

"And now that we've established that your Demonic Power is your own, let's move to the next point. Why can't you use Demonic Power?"

"Because it's still not mine?"

"Incorrect." Elaine imdiately shook her head, "Although you can't convert it into anything aningful, you still can feel and manipulate it to so extent, can't you?"

Riveria confird Elaine's words.

"Then let's go back to our definition of a Devil, which isn't really written in any records of a Devil's library because it was such common sense that even children knew it and so it was deed unnecessary."

"Devils are beings of desire and pride. They are prideful and thrive on desires. You are a Devil so you have to embrace these values to make full use of your abilities."

"...P-pride and desires?" Riveria was taken aback.

"That's right. As you are now, you don't embody these two. Due to your mindset of 'not owning' anything, you ended up going against the very thing that they embody. In hindsight, you're more suitable to be an Angel since you can convert that into 'faith'."

"...What should I do exactly?" Now that she'd taken a big step, she definitely didn't want to reincarnate into sothing else. Still, pride and desire, while the words themselves were easy to understand, she didn't have any inkling of how to embody them, 'Do I need to act like the Elves in my ho forest for pride? What about desire? What do I want? And how co I don't rember all the Devils that I've t acting on it?'

"For pride, just be proud of yourself. That should be enough. As for the latter, I'm not a Devil so I don't exactly know what you need to know. If I were to guess, you'd have to find that yourself."

Riveria sighed, 'If that's really the case, then I really have to find it myself.' Unbeknownst to her, the mindset she had been keeping had already slightly changed.

"Then again, I said that I might have an idea as to why in the beginning."

Riveria straightened her back and listened closely.

Elaine smiled widely and said, "You can try doing the opposite~!"

"...Huh?"

But instead of answering Riveria's question, Elaine stood up from her seat and began cleaning up, "Let's stop for today. Lady Riveria, you'll probably confront Kisuke Urahara to get so answers to your questions."

"Wait!" Riveria also stood up but Elaine didn't bother entertaining her, "But I suggest you walk around and digest everything first before doing that. Lady Le Fay, please take her back to Kuoh Town."

Le Fay trusted Elaine's decision and grabbed Riveria's hand without any questions and began constructing her Teleportation Magic.

"Please wait! Give another hint!" Riveria pleaded.

Seeing her reaction, Elaine couldn't help but sohow understand the actions that Kisuke had taken, "Lady Riveria... One of the most important assets of a Magician is his or her own confidence and thirst to achieve sothing impossible. Please don't forget that. Lady Le Fay, after you've dropped her off, please return imdiately and if possible, contact the DxD. We've caught the movent of a Sacred Gear user and there's a possibility that it's on Longinus level."

Le Fay nodded in understanding and the two of them disappeared in a mote of light.

"I wonder if Sir Urahara knew this would happen? Then again, I wonder if I'd just blindly went along with this, would I have contributed to making Lady Riveria a doll that can only follow others and what's laid out in front of her?" With those fleeting thoughts of today's eting, Elaine returned to fulfill her other obligations and prepare for the next lesson.
