Rias was staring at the large barrier that has been put in place.
How did she not become aware of this?
It was obvious. She knew there were fallen angels that were active in her territory. Yet she ignored it in the hopes that it would go away.
Now she was forced to sit on her hands as...well...something happened inside that barrier.
Something that she was not privy to.
She sighed as she wiped her forehead with her hand, the lack of information of what exactly was going on was beginning to stress her out. She then looked at her Peerage to check if they were doing their assigned jobs.
Akeno was focused on checking if there was an opening for them to get into the barrier and Koneko scouted around to find any structural weakness to the thing. Kiba was just sitting down and waiting for further orders.
The only reason any of them had any idea about what was happening in Kuoh Town, was due to sheer chance.
As Rias was in class earlier today, she noticed something peculiar about the actions of the resident 'hero' of Kuoh. Specifically, she noticed Nonaka Yuki leave the school grounds while class was still in session at high speeds.
This by itself was strange due to Nonaka Yuki's tendency to take her role as class representative very seriously, doubly so if you wonder why she was leaving in such a hurry. So this behavior already raised many questions in her head, but she ignored them for the moment and wrote it off as a coincidence.
What she couldn't write off was the fact that both Hyoudou Issei and Uzumaki Naruto were not in Kuoh Academy anymore.
Naruto not being in Kuoh was quite common by this point, but all of them being absent at the same time when Nonaka happened to leave her duties behind in a rush?
That set off alarm bells in her head, and she sent her familiar to follow the 'hero'.
The familiar managed to follow her to a point.
The 'hero' managed to get inside the barrier before it was created, but her familiar was too slow and could only report that there were large amounts of fallen angels sighted inside the barrier.
Beautiful. Just...beautiful.
With the way this event was shaping up...she could make an educated guess that Naruto and Issei was in there too.
For what reason? She had no idea.
But more importantly...the fallen with four pairs of wings was there too.
So the question was, what should she do?
She could try to break in, in order to better survey the situation...but she could risk the battle spilling over to Kuoh Town. So that option was out.
Besides that...
She could wait and see.
Normally Rias wouldn't choose this option in a million years, not when her territory was concerned. But recently her talks with Naruto made her reconsider it.
She was sure that the troublemaking blond was in there, but could she really leave her responsibilities to a person who she has only recently met?
'Please believe in me for a little bit longer so that I can prove to be worthy of your trust Rias-san! So that I can prove to be worthy of everyone's trust!'
Ah...
Rias grimaced as his words reverberated in her head. Those words...
She looked up to the sky with a small but noticeable grin. It looked like Naruto got her more than she was willing to admit.
Fine. She would place her faith in Naruto...he wanted a chance to prove himself? To prove that they could all trust him? Well this was a perfect chance.
"Go get 'em...Naruto." Rias said quietly.
"Buchou?"
Rias turned to see that her internal dilemma have not gone unnoticed by her Peerage. Everyone was looking at her with concern, even little Koneko-chan who has returned from her scouting.
"Everyone...I've decided that we should pull back for now. Naruto is in there and I'm sure that he won't let things escalate further...he is our friend after all." the red head said with a small smile. A smile which was returned by the rest of her Peerage.
"Well, Naruto-san certainly seems capable. I'm sure that whatever is going on inside the barrier...that he can handle it just fine." Kiba said with a reassuring smile.
Koneko nodded at Kiba's statement and added "...Naruto-senpai is strong. We don't have to worry Buchou."
Rias smiled at their responses, then she turned to Akeno who was hiding a smile behind her hand.
Akeno noticed that her King was waiting for her answer.
"Ara ara Buchou. I think you already know my answer when it comes to Foxy-kun." Akeno giggled.
The red-head just shook her head at her friend's antics and turned to regard the barrier.
She didn't know much about Issei yet...
She didn't trust Nonaka...not by a long shot.
But she did tell Naruto did she would place her faith in him.
That she would trust him, despite all of her misgivings. Despite all the logic against it. Despite the numerous different reasons that she shouldn't trust him.
Yet she did. Deep inside...she did trust him.
She could only hope that her trust wasn't misplaced.
Yuki was staring at the group in front of her as she held her weapon ready.
To be honest, she was dealing with an interesting dilemma. One that she didn't think that she would have to deal with in a long time.
She has sworn to protect humans from supernatural as a hero...
