Want a candy? I swear they're not dangerous...

"O-of course, I was spying on you because..." Se then proceeded to confirm Julian's previous conjectures that her mission was only to spy on Issei's friends to see if there was any anomaly or influence from other factions in his entourage.

From what Julian deduced of her words, they only recently discovered the fact that Issei own a sacred gear, but of course did not know of its nature as a longinus. If not, Kuoh would already be a mess, or Issei would be dead or worse.

Julian nodded at this. "Then, what about the plan you were implanted a bomb in your brain for?"

The girl touched the little hole under her jaw in the process of scaring due to her enhanced regeneration as a fallen angel.

"You truly removed it, I don't feel any foreign entity inside my head anymore! How did you do it?" The girl asked in relief of not having a time bomb and a slavery device connected to her brain anymore.

Julian codly gazed at her, releasing a bit of his recently obtained killing intent to make a point. "I'm the one to ask the questions here. Don't think that because I helped you we're in any sort of positive terms. You still tried to kill me and I reciprocated by freeing you of the device. Even if it was in my own interest too, in my book, you are heavily indebted to me. Do you understand?"

The fallen angel hurriedly nodded her head multiple time, fear creeping up again at her incomprehensible memory of how she was easily subdued. For her, one moment she was throwing her light spear at the abnormal human child in front of her and making a run for the window, and the other she felt a sharp pain in her knee and was tumbling and sliding across the floor.

Julian regained his slight smile, dumbfounding the purple-eyed beauty at his casual change of behavior. "Good, now your Kokabiel-Sama's plan please."

All, in all. Kokabiel plan was the same than in the canon, but still vague as the circumstance of it were not yet in place. This plan was to reignited another great war by stealing Excaliburs from the church.

Thus came the explanation of the history of the three factions and the past great wars. As Julian had to fake to know all of this to have a legit reason of knowing the supernatural world if he ever was questioned about his knowledge of it in the future.

Faking a stunned and troubled expression on his face. He made an act of swallowing all these 'new informations'.

The more he was staying silent, the more nervous the other person in the room was getting. "Now what? I mean, what will you do to me?"

Now, this got Julian out of his fake thinking state and made him focus his attention on the girl. He thought for a moment before replying seriously. "Now nothing, you'll continue as you were before. Doing missions and reporting to your superior, only difference that you will not say anything of what happened today to anyone and will not spy on Issei's entourage anymore."

Julian then abrubtly brought his right hand to her left breast and pinched her nipple. Making the fallen angel yealp in shock and slight pain.

As she opened her mouth, Julian threw in a blured movement something small and round in it.

The young woman reflexibly swallowed the thing as she was took by complete surprise. Widening her eyes as a result in trepidation. "What did you do!?"

Julian nonchalently replied in a lazy voice. "I hope that you did not seriously think I would just let you go without any assurence of you spilling the beans, did you? I'm not foolish enough to trust in words only. What you just swallowed is somewhat similar to the device I got rid of for you earlier. As for why it's only similar? Let's just say that what you swallowed is way worse than just a bomb. It's for you to discover how." He finished with a vicious grin.

The girl almost burst into tears to lose her freedom just after regaining it. But she just tough it out as her situation haven't really changed in the end. Only who she was working for. Still, she wasn't sure either if she was better of with Kokabiel or the terrifying human child in front of her as her boss.

"Now, begone. Only come see me when you have important information or news about this supernatural side of the world. Oh, and know that there is also a tracking function included in the thing you ingested. So don't think about running."

Julian then turned his back on her, clearly indicating for his new subordinate to leave. Not even bothering to ask for her name.

The girl in question, Melissa was her name. Gazed at the back of the boy for a moment before getting up with difficulty, the spear previously in her knee having been unsummoned by her for a time now before vanishing in the shadows.

"Ahahahah, fucking great!" Julian, as for himself. Waited for her presence to leave before bursting into laughter.

As for why he was laughing? Because what he made her eat was no monitoring device or anything of the sort. It was a fucking candy!

He had grabbed it from a drawer when he brought the canvas for her to indicate where the device was in her head.

'Also, it felt fucking good to play the villain.' Julian thought while wiping a tear from his eyes.

He only truly felt about a quarter of what he was saying earlier. He was truly a little upset about her trying to kill him, but that's about it. He didn't care about his life that much since he had a true goddess of death on his side and had a debt to pay to her.

He mostly quenched his feeling of anger by spearing her knee and pinching her nipple. Ah yes, also scaring the shit out of her.

As for the chance of her spilling the happenings of today despite his threat? It was nearly inexistant. Why exactly?

It was truly simple, psychology. As the candy would disappear forever from her system in the next 24 hours. Even in the eventuality of her seeking help immediatly and find out that what she ate was a candy. She would bring back to her memory his behavior and what she knew about him. She would then remember the unstable, vicious but confident temperament he showed to her and his unknown capabilities, and in result get a strong feeling of incongruity with him possibly faking his threat.

With how he had acted and what he did in front of her. She would unconsciously associate him with the unknown and the emotion she felt the most when in his presence, it being fear. He would leave a permanent mark on her mind, maybe even a trauma. It would make her fear the possibility of his words being true even with the proof of the contrary in front of her.

And all of that was only if she immediatly seek help, if not, she would never ever find what was the thing she swallowed. Leaving an even stronger hesitation and fear if she ever thought of telling any informations related to him.

Additionally, she seemed to be afraid of death. And she couldn't possibly fake it, Julian knew. Because masks were useless before him.

All in all, it was a fun encounter. And he was looking forward to similar situations happening in the future.

Now, Julian was thinking about his previous 'fight'. It had been the first time he had pushed his body to his maximum since he had pissed of his mom and run from her. It happening when he was eight.

After taking a shower, Julian found himself in his backyard. A modest twenty square meters, delimited by a fence made of painted wood. Painted white by his father to be more exact. As he was taller than the fence, he could see both of his neighbors backyard.

Turning his gaze to the Hyoudou's house, he saw that the lights of Issei's room was opened.

'He's probably watching hentai.' Julian knew his friend well.

Issei may not be as perverted as in the canon, but he still wanted to become a harem king because of all the stories his grandfather filled his head of. Grandfather that had passed away two years ago. His family was even invited to his funeral as the two family were close friend.

Shaking his head at the memory of the old man who he knew was chilling in buddhist heaven. He focused on the matter he came out for.

Using a bit of his demonic power, Julian created a concealment field on the backward.

As it was a thing based on will and imagination, demonic magic was the most instinctive and practical to use various spell from.

As long as he had enough of it and had a clear idea of how and what to do. He could do almost anything.

After that, Julian flexed his knees and with the strongest force he could muster. Jump off the ground.

With his feet sinking in the dirt as a result of the force, it caused an explosion of it on his jumping point.

The wind slicing harshly across his face, Julian waited to be at highest point of his jump before estimating his height. If he based himself on how many of his house he could jump over, he should be approximatively fifty meters into the air.

After being satisfied of guessing his current jump strenght. He focused himself on his feelings.He focused on the fast beatings of his heart at the feeling of freefalling from such height. The butterfly in his stomach when he looked at the ground. His satisfaction at living a new experience and really grasping what it meant to be in another world and be surhuman.

As he was above most buildings, he could relish in the view of the city. He could see the sun that was previously hidden by said buildings setting in the west. He could see the full moon preparing herself to take over and some early stars.

He put his hand forward and made grasping motion toward the moon. Asking himself if he could one day jump from the earth to it. Forgetting his always critical and logical mind to allow himself dream for the first time in a long, long time.

He was snapped out of his trance like state by the call of gravity. Bringing him back fiercely toward the ground.

'I will not die from a height I can jump myself right?' He asked himself semi sarcastically.

A little nervous, Julian prepared himself for the impact by bending his knees and overall curling up in a ball.

His hair violently flapping in the cold wind. Julian hit the ground like a cannonball.

*BOOM*

After provoking a little earthquake and a cloud of dust to rise. Julian waved the dust away and inspected himself to see that beside an initial pressure in his legs and him being half embedded in his backyard, he was totally fine.

Julian pushed himself out of the dirt and dust himself off. After that, he searched a target for his next test and found nothing. So he set out to search for some rocks outside his home and brought back a few of different sizes with him in a bag.
