The second screen shows Sizechs best friend, Ajuka Beelzebub.
Ajuka is a bewitchingly beautiful and attractive young man in his early twenties, with light blue eyes and green hair that is slicked back.
He is the Chief Advisor for the Technology Department and the creator of the Evil Pieces system and the Rating Game system that goes with them. The Evil Pieces are the objects that allow devils to reincarnate any other race but Gods and Buddha into Devils.
The third screen shows the final Satan, Falbium Asmodeus a tall man whose head is completely bald and has a dark goatee on his chin.
Falbium was in charge of Military Affairs and the laziest Satan of them all. Even now his eyes were drooping as if he was fighting off the need to fall asleep.
With them all gathered together, even if only through a conference video call, the situation had to be fairly important. Sirzechs, nominally the one in charge, got the ball rolling by immediately passing it to Ajuka by asking him, "What can you tell us about the potion discovered by Sona and Rias?"
Ajuka doesn't even bother looking at his notes on the subject, he is considered the smartest devil of them all for a reason, "It does exactly what it says on the bottle. It's also fairly accurate in calling itself 'Least'. My testing shows it to only be capable of healing minor injures and bruising.
It will help slightly with more serious injuries but would be similar to putting a single band-aid on a large cut. Not necessarily a complete waste, but also highly ineffective."
"So, definitely not competition for Phoenix Tears."
Ajuka nodded in agreement with Sirzechs statement prompting the red-headed Satan to ask, "Can it be replicated and improved upon?"
Ajuka shook his head, "I'm afraid not. Despite my efforts, I was unable to analyze its makeup to reverse engineer it. If we want to have more, we'll need to go to the source."
Serafall spoke up at that, "Which we'll have to rely on Sona-tan and Rias-chan for! Sending in more people will only spread word of this and once word is out it will spread like wildfire."
Sirzechs nodded in agreement, "Not to mention how the Phenex clan might react to someone muscling in on their turf. It might be significantly weaker, but it's still a healing potion and they are likely to take offense at its very existence.
Even if it would never cut into the sales of their Phoenix Tears."
He focused on Ajuka, "Do we concur with Sona's belief this is someone with Innovate Clear?"
Ajuka shook his head, "Unlikely. Unless it's an extreme subspecies. But, even then, it could only possibly explain the potion, not how Akeno suddenly gained a power boost. No matter how small she claimed that boost to be."
All of them nodded at that. The second, possibly more sensitive and dangerous secret of the 'dungeon' that Rias and the others entered, was the strength gain.
If this person could just give people items and power, they would become the most sought-after person in the supernatural world.
He'd read Sona's report and while he wished it was Okane Ryuji who had done this, he knew it wasn't. He'd done a very thorough check of the young man and found nothing but his talent for magic. Even that talent was only a moderate one, not even all that special among magicians.
"What should we do? If more of these pocket dimensions open, it will begin to attract more attention to Kuoh. Someone else will eventually come across one before Sona, Rias, or their peerage members can get there."
Sirzechs looked to Serafall after she asked her question, "There's not much we can do to prevent that. Not without consequences. Hopefully, one of the kids can find the person doing this and recruit them before it gets out.
If things start to look bad, we can see about sending someone stronger in to find this person. We absolutely cannot let any other faction get their hands on them."
Ryuji looked over the settings for the newest scenario he was planning. He'd been working on it off and on for the last few days. School had been... interesting. Souna seemed to decide that she hated him, for whatever reason.
It all seemed a bit petty to him. Rias kept sending him curious glances but never approached him. She also never sent any of her peerage members to talk to him. He did spot Koneko's white hair following him once though.
He'd also spent some time reading his beginner's book on magic. He'd quickly decided he despised the magic system for humans. It was ninety percent maths! The last ten percent being actually casting the goddamn spells.
Thank the gods that his special powers gave him a good intelligence boost for things specifically related to magic! Additionally, while his memory was normally pretty good, when it came to magic it seemed near perfect, which helped SO much.
He still hadn't cast his first spell though. The book had the lessons laid out in a specific order to help him learn how to make his own spells while learning a basic fireball spell at the same time.
Mephisto knew his stuff and it was actually fascinating, if annoying. He had to use maths to design spells circles and make them mathematically perfect. Or as close to it as possible as to make little to no difference.
Each portion of the spell circle described a different part of the spell being created. For the fireball spell, there was a portion that said 'fire', another to throw it, another to maintain it in flight, and so on.
Thankfully, once he learned a part of a circle for any spell, his excellent memory for magic made it nearly impossible for him to forget it. He knew that would come in handy in the future when he designed more complex circles on his own.
The one great thing, and one of the first things he'd learned, was how to sense magical power. A very useful tool that let him compare himself to the Devils.
He was not surprised to find that his own power was around half of what the two strongest, Rias and Sona, had. He didn't mind it since he could increase it with his Dungeon Energy.
He was pretty certain though, that his recovery rate was significantly faster than theirs.
