I expanded my observation Haki to search for my master. He seems to be doing paperwork and stuff. I made my way to the building and asked the receptionist about the Fuhrer. I told them I was his disciple, of course they didn't believe me. I sighed as I don't have much to say, I don't have an evidence that I really was his disciple except the initial ultimate eye which is not acceptable and I would be treated as hostile.
I told the receptionist to give the Fuhrer my name and give him the choice to meet me. After 10 minutes, the fuhrer came down and meet me causing shock to spread through everyone. In that 10 minutes, the receptionist had already told her co-workers about me claiming to be the fuhrer's disciple and they thought it is ridiculous, but now seeing the fuhrer came down personally and met me, they were shocked and felt fear.
What if I decided to take revenge on them, would they lose their jobs? They paled when they thought about it and they wanted to apologize for their rudeness. If not for the fuhrer talking with me, they would immediately rush to me and offer their heartfelt apologies.
"Looks like you made quite a commotion just to visit me, eh?" King Bradley joked.
"Well, what can I say. The fuhrer, taking a disciple? If I were in their place I would consider it ridiculous as well." I said to him as he laughed a little.
"Seems like you found a partner in life?" He said as he scrutinized Soi Fon. Soi Fon introduced herself in a graceful way as King Bradley seemed please about her.
"Indeed. Actually, we're here to invite you to our wedding. Master Bang would be there as well." I said as he flashed a surprise look.
"I see. Although I'd like to accept your invitation, I still have a lot of job to do as you can see, I'm the fuhrer, the head of this place and many need my authorization for plans to progress." He said in an apologetic way.
"Master, why don't you try and find a successor? Those your age should rest already for your wife's sake. Even Master Bang is resting right now." I said as the idea interested him.
"Hm... I'll think about it." He said.
"Also, the reason I'm here other than to invite you to my wedding is to learn alchemy as well. If I had enough knowledge, then I can reverse engineer that faulty stone you have. Maybe even your son could live as a normal human." I said my piece and it is up to him whether he believed me or not.
"You know, you've always been the man who likes to tackle the impossible. Ever since the original Vergil drilled you to fight in impossible scenarios for years, facing the impossible has always been your thing. I would be forever grateful to you if you could complete what you're doing." He said as I'm surprised he accepted.
"Well, I can help you but your son..." I said as Pride is not the same as Bradley who was cultivated to hold the wrathful soul.
"*Sigh* It can't be helped... isn't it." He said with a bit of sorrow in his voice.
"Well, I'll see what I can do." I said as he gave me an identity card, badge, and a pass to all buildings including libraries and stuff.
I told Soi Fon to go back and do her duties in Soul Society as I'm going to do some research to reverse engineer those philosopher's stone.
I used quicksilver to slow down time to a halt as I kept reading things in a fast pace. With thought acceleration, reading books have been a breeze as I understood basic alchemy.
"Seems like I'll have to meet 'truth' and see the gate of truth." I said as I think of ways to make alchemy transmutation efficient.
After reading in the library for almost a week in a time-stopped manner, I finally got out of the library as I have finished reading all of the books regarding alchemy in the library.
When I continued time, I went back to the Feng residence and took a bath, as I've been like a madman for the past week. Although I've advanced in alchemy in a fast pace, it feels like alchemy doesn't have a ceiling at all.
After having a rest, I went back to Amestris and meet with the Fuhrer. When I entered I was kinda surprised to see Col. Mustang sitting in the chair, giving reports to the Fuhrer.
"Ah, Vergil, have a seat." The fuhrer motioned for me to sit in the sofa.
"Is it okay, Fuhrer?" I asked as I glanced at Mustang.
"Its fine, with your personality, I'm sure you're not gonna be interested about it anyways." He said as I chuckled.
Mustang seemed to lower his guard since I am a guest of the fuhrer so he continued reporting about a man with an X shaped Scar in his forehead and was told that the state alchemist, Edward Elric was attacked.
Now this is interesting. Scar have already touched Edward. Looks like the next thing that would happen... although I don't want to be reminded.... its the dog. ITS. THE. FVCKING. DOG. (RIP)
I can't move since it hasn't happened yet and I got no evidence. But I do hope that I could reverse engineer that homunculi with the help of Yamato while preventing Scar from killing the man, since I will be the one to finish him off. I don't want to move early as it would serve as a lesson to the Elric brothers about their naivety about being a state alchemist.
Why do I feel like Scathach has influenced me in a certain ways? Although Scathach wanted to train rough gems, on the other hand, I want to see interesting people grow at every turn in life. Although they are interesting, sometimes you will be met with disappointment, just like what happened to Naofumi. He claims to be rational, but when revenge is handed to him on a silver platter, he declines and asks for a wooden plate instead.
After Mustang and Bradley finished their discussion, Mustang left but not before taking a glance at me one final time before closing the door.
Back at DxD world, in front of the church, Francis stood as he looked at the wreckage caused by the fights.
He went inside and saw a dozen of fallen angels and exorcists lying on the floor. He then walked towards the underground entrance and saw what supposed to be the leaders of the fallen angels upstairs.
He didn't show any empathy towards the girl who is captured and what appears to be an extraction device of some sort. He realized that it is a sacred gear extractor. His face turned serious as he deemed them strays already according to what Azazel told him.
He saw the Rook, Koneko, fighting with Dohnaseek, the Gremory Heiress and their King, Rias, fighting Mitelt, Akeno fighting Kalawarner, while Kiba, the knight and the pawn, Issei, fighting with Raynare.
The battle was in a stalemate and Francis watched how the heiress did their job of protecting the town they are leading. For a bunch of inexperienced Devils, they seemed to be holding their grounds against them.
The fighters noticed his presence as they stopped fighting as the fallen angel's side trembled and Issei held hope in his eyes when he saw Francis, while the Fallen Angels paled when they saw him. Rias explained about the guild to him and about Francis, the head of the Guild.
The first one to regain his confidence is Dohnaseek as he shoved Koneko to the side and rushed towards Francis.
"Hah! Let's see how 'powerful' the leader of the guild is. Don't disappoint me human!" He said.
What happened next astounded them. Green tattoos surrounded Francis' body as he caught Dohnaseek's fist with just his one finger. In his off-hand, he is holding a paper bill that disintegrated soon after.
"I guess, 1,000 yen would be enough for you." Francis said but in truth it was more than enough. He flicked Dohnaseek's head as it separated from his neck and crashed into a wall. The fallen angels and devils both shared a horrified look. Only Akeno and Koneko had a surprised look because they finally believed when I said that Uncle Francis could hold and fend for himself.
Heck, as long as there's money in his account, he could fight for days. A simple 25 cents had destroyed a group of thugs numbering 20 or more.
'Why did they seemed shocked?' He thought but shook his head as he moved in to finish the job as he knocked out and captured Raynare, Mitelt, and Kalawarner.
Issei freed Asia who was really week as the extraction drained her out. Akeno and Koneko bowed to Francis in thanks for helping them.
"Although a bit unrefined, you did your best in holding your ground with your inexperience, I commend you for that. Although I would like to keep you company, I must return and settle this troublemakers. As for you, Gremory heiress, I would suggest you fix the internal problems of your peerage. It would cost you, if you didn't." He praised them while he looked at Kiba. He knew he was a 'failed' experiment of the church and tried to warn Rias about it, if she heeds it, good, if she doesn't? Its gonna cost her.
"Thank you for your guidance." Rias said as she also bowed to Francis.
"One last piece of advice, or should I say, warning. The clouds of trouble are brewing in Kuoh, I suggest you prepare for what's coming. Do pass my warning to Sona" He said
Francis left them to their own devices as he brought the three captured fallen angels to put them in the underground prison beneath the Guild Headquarters.
