บท 17: Chapter 17: Pick
There were twenty unconscious humans on the bed, each possessing a Sacred Gear.
"Here's what you ordered," Azazel said.
There were nine males and eleven females, all wearing patient clothes.
"What Sacred Gears do they have?" Kiba asked.
Azazel began explaining each one:

"Hmm, good enough," Kiba said, thinking to himself, 'I can create or use Demonic Power for most of these, but some have the potential to unlock Balance Breaker, which is a chance worth taking.'
"I'll come back to get them. Wait a moment," Kiba said as he teleported away.
He went to find a new house. After browsing, he found one he liked. It was cheap due to rumors of it being haunted and the fact that many people had died there.
Kiba paid in cash after manipulating an ATM to give him money. He received the key and had the house certificate put in his name.
He headed straight to the mansion.
"No wonder it's haunted. A yokai is using this place as a hiding spot," Kiba muttered as he sensed its presence.
[Are you going to kill it?] Ddraig asked.
"Well, that's for the person inside to decide," Kiba replied as he entered the house with his new key.
He did a thorough search of the mansion and was pleased to find it very clean.
Kiba smirked as he sensed the person behind him. "Are you going to attack me?"
The presence stopped, sensing how dangerous Kiba was.
Kiba turned around and said, "I thought you were stupid enough to attack me. Hmm, a smart vengeful spirit. Are you stuck here?"
"Yes, but why is a devil here?" the vengeful spirit asked.
"Because this is my house now, and there will be people living here. If you harm them, I'll make sure you're gone for good," Kiba said as he walked out.
"You're letting me live here?" the vengeful spirit asked.
"Yes, and if you behave, I might be able to send you to heaven," Kiba said, waving without looking back and teleporting away.
Kiba arrived at the location where his humans were located.
"You're back," Vali said, leaning against the wall.
"Oh, Vali," Kiba replied as he began teleporting the unconscious humans one by one.
"What are you planning to do with the humans, if you don't mind me asking?" Vali inquired.
"Build an army of Balance Breakers, and maybe a few will survive," Kiba explained, though it was only half the truth.
Vali smirked. "Ah, no wonder. I'd like to see your team take on mine then."
"If it works, sure," Kiba said, finishing the teleportation of the last human. He waved without looking back, teleporting away. "See you next year."
Arriving at his mansion in the large kendo room, Kiba saw the vengeful spirit watching the unconscious bodies lying on the ground.
"What are you planning with them?" the vengeful spirit asked.
Kiba ignored her question and said, "What is your name? My name is Kiba Yuuto."
"Kira, Kariya Kira," she introduced herself.

"Good. Stand next to me," Kiba instructed.
Kira followed Kiba's orders, and then Kiba snapped his fingers, waking all the unconscious humans.
They immediately went into a ready state, some scared, terrified, confused, and hugging each other. They saw a man, Kiba, and a vengeful spirit next to him.
One male instantly activated his Sacred Gear, a fiery gauntlet appearing on his hands.
"What do you want?" he demanded, protecting the others.
"Before I explain my motive, my name is Kiba Yuuto, and this is Kira, a vengeful spirit," Kiba said. "And my reason for gathering you here is for your Sacred Gears."
The man grew more fearful but still stood in front of the others.
"Sacred Gears?" some of the humans murmured, unaware of the supernatural.
The man before Kiba was the only one who understood what was happening.
"Calm down. I won't kill anyone here. But I'm offering you all a deal," Kiba said.
"What are you, a devil? Making deals?" the man asked.
"Yes, I am a devil," Kiba replied, transforming into his Sin Devil Trigger mode, scaring everyone except the man. He then reverted to his normal form.
'Not a Fallen Angel?' the man thought, confused, as the last being he fought was a Fallen Angel.
"Right now, I'm giving you a once-in-a-lifetime choice. Be my soldiers, or I'll take away your Sacred Gears and..." Kiba trailed off, smiling, "send you back home, erasing your memories of this encounter and the supernatural."
"What if I reject both of your deals?" another male asked.
"Then I'll just use the second method, but forcefully," Kiba said, clapping his hands. "I'm offering you a choice: give me the Sacred Gears and return to your normal lives, or join me, and I can offer you anything within my power."
They were stuck with a difficult choice, not knowing which option was better.
"Pick, humans," Kiba said with a devilish smile.
