He puts on a confused look after sitting on my chair that comes with my desk.
“……For the Vampires to start a coup d’état. Seriously, lots of things sure do happen.”
“That’s what I just thought too. For this to happen while Rias is over there.”
“She went to ask about Gasper-kun’s secret right?”
“Yeah, though it seems like it’s not the right time now.”
From Rias’s report, it seems like her negotiation with the House of Vladi was progressing accordingly……
“Putting us aside, what’s going on with the Sitri group? For example Bennia and Rugal-san.”
I ask. Since they have new members, there must be some changes.
Saji says while resting his chin on his hand on the desk.
“In terms of the new formation, it’s almost completed. Well, something more important than that is actually happening within the Sitri group.”
“Hmm, what would that be?”
“The establishment of the school that Kaichou invested in. It’s decided that it’s going to be built officially next time.”
“School? You mean the one for the Rating Game? Amazing! If I’m right, it’s the one where any Devil can enrol regardless of Low-class or High-class, right?”
Yes, the Sitri group—to be accurate Sona-kaichou, her dream is to build a Rating Game school that anyone can attend. Becoming a teacher for that school is Saji’s dream.
“Yeah, the first one is finally progressing. Even Boss Sairaorg helped out, that’s why the plan has made big progress, you know?”
So Sairaorg-san helped Sona-kaichou. Oh yeah, Sairaorg-san’s mother was under the care of the hospital within the Sitri territory, so it won’t be weird for him to give his full support to Kaichou’s project.
“Though it seems like the establishment for the next school after that would happen very far from now…… Even so, we already started recruiting children regardless of their status, and we started to take in children with poor demonic powers as well. The parents already brought their children and are asking us to take them in.”
Even though Saji said that happily, I can’t feel any energy in his words.
Saji continues while sighing and putting on a complicated expression.
“……You know how I said my dream was to become a teacher? I started to feel scared since that dream will turn out to become a reality…… I’m sceptical if I can even become a proper teacher once that school gets built…… They say that I can’t attain the licence to become a teacher over there until I become a Mid-class Devil. But I’m still a Low-class Devil……”
That’s a weak thought coming from the Student Council member Saji Genshirou who is always running around the school in high spirits.
Saji narrows his eyes while resting his chin on his hand.
“Rather, I don’t even know what to teach the kids. Boss Sairaorg is in high spirits and is saying that he would be teaching martial arts to kids who have poor demonic powers. I......don’t know what to teach them……”
Saji who is in deep thought looks at his own palm.
“Even in the joint training with the Longinus possessors, I……was so pathetic that I couldn’t reach Balance Breaker.”
……Just like Saji said, we started training right away with Joker Dulio and Slash Dog Ikuse Tobio.
Dulio and Tobio-san who are veterans showed us their power which was beyond what we heard from rumours, so even I had a really hard time. Rather, we knew that we wouldn’t finish the training safely if we fought seriously, so we determined that we needed to alter our training.
For the training with Kiba, we both know our potential, so it was easy for us to maintain our training. If we are to train with those two from now on, we probably need to discuss this area together.
Saji also trained with us, but he couldn’t reach Balance Breaker.
“We just started. Don’t become so negative.”
I say that to Saji. He did seem like he was having a hard time training with the Longinus possessors but that will depend on how he does it in the future.
Saji bows his head down.
“……Yeah, you’re right. I’m sorry; lately I’ve been rushing things. Sorry for making you listen to weird and gloomy things.”
I did hear about Saji’s concerns from Sona-kaichou.
[Saji is looking at your growth with envy, Ise-kun. So he can’t help but to compare himself to you who became a Devil at the same time as him and is starting to lose confidence…… Maybe the fact about wanting to become like you but can’t is cornering him little by little.]
……Saji, I can’t say things to you lightly, but be proud of your own strength. You have your own strength.
I shake my head to the side and continue to talk.
“No, even I saw the areas I needed to improve on with the training with Dulio and Tobio-san. It’s just started. And I’m glad I heard about the school.”
I’m honestly happy that the ambition of the Sitri group is progressing well.
“Yeah, come and check out the school with everyone next time! By the time you guys come to visit, the construction of the school would have progressed even more.”
