"Correct." Rias said, "I must admit it is very rare for a human to combat a Devil unless they had previously unlock and had trained with their Sacred Gear."
"And Sacred Gear are what exactly?" I asked.
"A Sacred Gear is an artifact bestowed upon humans by the God of the Bible." Akeno explained,
"They are rare and only found in humans, but they stay with humans even if they are reincarnated as Devils, as such Devils often recruit such Sacred Gear users into their ranks for their powers."
"Then why was Hiromi recruited by... whoever." I asked genuinely interested.
"I can't say for sure." Rias admitted, "The only way to know would be to ask him or the other Pieces of his Peerage, which isn't going to be easy at the moment as we don't know who was in his peerage."
"Ah, well crap." I muttered.
"Vincent-San." Rias said looking at me, "I'd like to ask you to join my Peerage."
There's the recruitment offer, I mean I killed a Devil without a Sacred Gear, meaning to Devils I'm an interesting individual.
"How long will this offer be open?" I asked.
"I don't plan on closing this offer until I run out of Pieces." Rias said.
"I see..." I muttered, going into thought.
If I want to rehabilitate Raynare I'm going to need to stay human until the start of canon... which means for now I'm gonna need to say no.
"Seeing as the offer won't close for a while," I started, "I'd like to stay human a little while longer if you don't mind, I just moved to Kuoh after all, I'd like to adjust to living here before I make as big a decision as that."
Akeno and Rias nodded at that, "I suppose this is a big change for you after all." Rias said, "Very well, I'll give you some time to adjust to then."
"Until then." Akeno said holding out the wrapped object, "Seeing as you killed the Stray Devil it's only fitting that you received some form of reward.
However seeing as there was no actually bounty on her e can only really give you this."
I took the wrapped object and unwrapped the cloth from it, revealing it to be Hiromi's blood red katana and it's sheath.
[Muramasa]
[This Katana is a bloodthirsty blade that refuses to return to its sheath until it has tasted blood.
The rumor that all Musamasa blades are like this come sword, the darkest work of the Swordsmith Muramasa.
Sometimes the Blade will inflict a rage upon it's wielder should they try to sheath the blade after it's drawn, but before its tasted blood.
You won't be effected by this thanks to Gamer's mind, but it won't go back into it's sheath until it touches blood.]
'Holy shit, no wonder Hiromi went nuts.' I thought, 'A sword like this would drive people nuts without proper mental protection.'
"Thank you." I said nodding my head to Rias and Akeno, "However I do have things to do today so I'll see you two later."
"Of course Vincent-San." Rias said, "I go to Kuoh Academy, I'm President of the Occult Research Club, so if you need to find me that's where I'll be."
"Of course." I said, nodding, "I'll see you later Rias-San, Akeno-San."
[]
After the three of us split up I stowed away the Muramasa and began to wonder around town.
"Hello Vincent-San." Yet another familiar voice said from behind.
'Okay, you eight, you all are behind me, you guys should be letting me know people are behind me.' I thought annoyed.
I turned around to see none other than Yuuma standing behind me, "Hello again Yuuma, I take it you've been given permission to actually be able to hang out with me."
Yuuma gave me a small smile, "I have." Yuuma said.
----------
I'd say my hang out time with Yuuma went well... I base that on the fact she hasn't tried to gut me just yet.
I also sent one of my Shades into her shadow, you know so I can figure out what her plan is for me.
In the mean time I was sitting in my house looking at the Muramasa sword, which I hadn't drawn yet.
"She was pretty weak for a Rook." I said to myself looking back on the fight, "If Rias said she was sent to kill Stray's then that means she was pretty darn weak."
Looking at the blade once again I started to chuckle, "Oh, now I get it." I chuckled.
Let me explain, Hiromi doesn't have a Gamer ability, so she can't get stronger by killing enemies like I can, instead her situation was as such- A noob who somehow managed to get their hands on the ultimate weapon.
Muramasa was literally doing all the wok for Hiromi, all she had to do was maintain the skill and strength needed to use the sword and she's got all she needs.
And as a result she ended up neglecting her training, meaning she could never actually tap into her full potential.
In all honesty I'm pretty sure I would have been dead if I didn't have Gamer's body keeping my injuries to just an HP bar.
"Well then." I said putting the deadly katana back into my inventory, "I'm gonna need a normal katana so I can gain some katana skill without having to rely on Muramasa's power...
I should probably wait on learning magic though, I don't know if Devils, Angels, and Fallen can detect someone with Magic."
With that in mind I left the house and pulled out a map that I thanked Yuuma for, and to my luck, I found that there was indeed a metalworks in Kuoh, thank...
I should probably start thinking of someone else to thank instead of god if I'm gonna join Rias's peerage after Issei- After all I don't wanna screw him out of a place if I can't stop Raynare.
