When I showed Ddraig to the professional counsellor introduced by Sensei, I was prescribed to use this medicine. He has his consciousness, but apparently a sealed Dragon is a special existence. So I used the medicine for Dragons that will calm their stress down to test it, and it seems like the medicine worked and he seems to be more relaxed than before. A Dragon sealed in Sacred Gear should be rare, but a medicine used for that kind of dragon seems more rare to me….. I really am troubling Ddraig so much that I had to get a counsellor to check up on him. I never imagined that a Heavenly Dragon had a fragile heart so I did too many reckless power-ups. […….I started to get back to myself after receiving the medicine. Kukuku. But a Heavenly-Dragon who needs medicine….. What would the white-one think if he finds out…….] Ddraig is laughing at himself…… I’m really sorry! Well anyway, I have a counsellor look at Ddraig once a week. And I have to use this medication on him 3 times a day. Ddraig! I will look after you for the rest of my life! […….Kukuku. Medication for ten thousand years huh…………]
That’s why I’m saying that I’m sorry! Keep your heart strong! Oh! If the cause, which is me, tells him that then it won’t have any persuasive strength in it! The thing about Ddraig is serious, but I also have to take care of the two tests….. I’m busy with other things besides battles as well…… So it was necessary that I got a manager huh. I seriously am having a crazy high school life. Haaa…….. I left the home-economic room while making a sigh. And I met him by chance. “Hyoudou.”
“Ah, Saji.”
I met with Saji. “…..You were making the Heavenly-Dragon cry that much?”
Saji sighs after hearing about the issue with Ddraig. I was in the Student-council room. “If the Heavenly-Dragon doesn’t stay stable then serious things will happen when Vritra goes berserk.”
Saji says it while drinking green-tea. “It means that Dragons are sensitive and hard to control.”
I said something that sounds right…….. But I’m not in the position where I can say that. But Saji also agreed by saying “Yeah. You are right”. Well it’s hard to take care of a dragon that resides in you. I wonder how Sensei is interacting with Fafnir? I should ask him about it next time. “Oh yeah. I heard that you were recommended for promotion. Congrats.”
I received congratulation from Saji. “Yeah, thanks. It was all rather sudden. To tell you the truth, I still can’t believe it.”
“Well, I think it is an appropriate recommendation. You went through lots of life and death situations right? I participated in the battle against Loki and the battle at Kyoto so I understand it. You will die in battles like that. Normally you would die. How many strong foes have you had as your opponents? They are all opponents who come from mythologies or are recorded in history.”
But I still survived through those battles. It’s all because of Ddraig and my comrades who I can depend on…… Even so it was an intense battle. Seriously. Why do we get involved in those kinds of battles………? I admire a quiet and ecchi lifestyle! Saji continues. “You survived through those battles and achievements. So I would say it’s an appropriate thing. Are you going to skip through ranks? Don’t you guys already have the power of High-class devils already? Like you and Kiba for example?”
“No. In terms of promotion we have to become Middle-class devils first.”
“Hmm, so the higher-up’s don’t have the good will to do what’s right, ay. Kaichou said that you, Kiba, and Akeno-senpai have the power to become High-class devils by skipping through ranks. Since it’s Sekiryuutei, Holy-demonic swords, and Holy-lightning.”
Some people look at us like that. Even Sensei and others said it’s a matter of time until we become High-class devils. So we accomplished things where we get treated like that huh……. “You and Kiba are especially crazy strong. I asked Kiba to spar with me last time. He was too strong. My attacks couldn’t hit him that much. Kiba is like a role-model of a technique-type in my opinion. And you have been training with Kiba every day right? You do know that you guys are monsters, right?”
I don’t want it to be said by Saji who can transform into a Dragon-king…… Well the training with that guy won’t mean anything if I don’t do it seriously. I see. So Saji did spar with Kiba. He must have bit his tongue when he saw Kiba’s god speed. My attacks seriously can’t touch him. “I also want to get a promotion, but before that I need to get stronger.”
Saji says it with a bitter smile. “You are pretty strong enough. You do have the Dragon-king Vritra with you.”
“No, not just me. I want to get stronger with the other Sitri members as well. Lately, our Kaichou has been discussing it with Grigori. About the artificial Sacred Gear that is.”
“Artificial Sacred Gear?”
The one Sensei uses. The one he created for himself by copying the Scared Gear system that the “God recorded in Bible” used to create the Sacred Gear. “Yeah. We, the Sitri group, often participate in the experiments of Azazel-sensei. As a result, next time one of the non-Sacred Gear possessors of our group is going to be equipped with an Artificial Sacred Gear.”
“Wow, that’s amazing.”
“Even if I say Artifical Sacred Gear, the power output isn’t as stable as the Sacred Gears and there are limits on the number of times they can be used. There are many things that still need to be fixed. But it’s certain that we can become stronger, so it won’t be in vain if we use it. And if the research on the Artificial Sacred Gears improves, then in the near future it will become the power for devils as well. Also “Reverse” isn’t used anymore. The burden it has on the body is large and they say those with Sacred Gears near them might touch them and bad things might occur.”
So the student-council members are helping with the experiments for things like that huh. Saji enjoyably talks about it. “There are also lots of variations in Artificial Sacred Gears as well. It’s not like I’m receiving it, but it’s fun to know about them you know? It begins with Power or Support type. For types it has Element-types, Counter-types, Barrier-types and like that it has many variations. And just like our Sacred Gears there are ones that have monsters sealed in them, even by contract as well.”
If I remember correctly, Sensei’s Artificial Sacred Gear has one of the Five Dragon-kings, “Gigantis Dragon Fafnir” residing in it by contract. Do you call those ones the “Contract-sealed type” perhaps? I’m really lacking in knowledge of Sacred Gear types. I only try to understand my own Sacred Gear. Next time I should ask Sensei to teach me about it. When I was thinking about it, other Sitri members came into the student-council room. “Ah, it’s Hyoudou-kun.”
The one with pig tails, the “Bishop” Kusaka-san congratulates me by saying “Congratulations for your promotion recommendation!” as soon as she sees me. Other members also congratulate me by saying “Congratulations!”. “Thank you!
