Her clothes aside, she still looked exotic and beautiful, a mature woman that could compete with any actress or model and be found superior, both in appearance and in her acting skills.
Everyone in the room knew she was there to investigate and help with the 'new' branch of the ley line, they just didn't spam out of nowhere and someone made a mistake. Every branch or potential branch was properly registered and localized, they knew every house, every building that had one of the mana veins and yet a huge one was missed, for years.
Suffice to say that besides a team to repair the thing Kyoto also sent her to discover how that mess started. Her name was Shihouin Yoruichi, a noble woman and one of the last nekomatas, a race of cat yokai, around.
"Are we boring you Shihouin-san?" Asked a girl behind a desk with another seven people around her, she was a devil like the other three sitting with her in an elevated desk and the four behind them were their Queens and second in command standing ready for anything. She had black short hair, purple eyes behind a pair of glasses, a short haircut with a serious expression that didn't diminish her beauty, she was petite and was dressed in the uniform of the academy, all of them were.
At her left side is Rias, also in the uniform and keeping her composure to avoid showing her frustration, there is also someone on the right side of the speaker another girl with a long clear blond hair that ran all the way on her back even if she was standing, her figure is already of a mature woman and her eyes are pink. She is taking notes of the meeting and trying to puzzle parts of the report that was delivered to them and took a second to fix her classes and keep working.
The last one was a male with blond hair and orange eyes making no effort to hide that he is bored even playing with the ribbon tie of his uniform. He was like a model straight out of a magazine with orange eyes and his hair pulled back, his posture was really relaxed, he also gave the impression of being a bad boy.
"Of course not Sitri-dono, it is just that we need more time to investigate our side and the ley line." Yoruichi's tone was professional and the spokesperson of the devils, Sona Sitri or Shitore Souna as the alias she took in Japan, just let out a sigh.
"You had a month and so far we heard no news, there is also the fact that one of us almost died on that site." Rias' face almost moved at her friend's comment; she didn't allow it, keeping a hold of her emotions.
"Well, then I better get back to work, don't you agree?" Yoruichi gave a cheeky smile and a small bow before leaving.
"They could have sended anyone else." Commented the professor of the Clocktower, a man with long black hair glasses and dressed in a fine black suit with a red tie. He really wished for a cigarette.
"I agree but also disagree." Said the small bald man, one of those who represented the yokais in Fuyuki, he was also the guardian of one of the new students and even if now he looked like a normal human. That was not his real face and the staff he was holding also had its own disguise. "But Yoruichi-sama is the best at what she does. If there was foul play she is going to find it."
"Be as it may." The blonde haired devil fixes her glasses with a sigh. "We need to finish this meeting and go deal with the new students. Is there anything else or is it just Jaken's new ward and the fact that no one can touch her?" She was 'officially' done with the whole thing.
"Yes, I have made a pact with a magician and would appreciate it if none of you bothered him." That caught the attention of everyone in the room, not that Rias minded.
"You found a good one already?" The male blonde almost shouted. "How? You found no one good enough last year… as far as you said!" It was an accusation.
"And since when do I have to report to you everything Rutal?" Rias pretended to check her nails ignoring the other devil which could only scowl.
"While he said in a rather rude manner Rias… Does this spellcaster have anything to do with the incident of the last term?" Sona fixed her glasses and looked at her friend with the corner of ehr eye.
"Maybe~" Rias was not going to explain anything if she could help.
"The heir of the Gremory found a spellcaster and made a pact… the Gremorys haven't done that since the 'Deals of Solomon'." Jaken whispered in wonder. He was scratching his bald head and trying to imagine who would be such a magician.
"That is irritating," another person at the meeting said, an old woman with sharp eyes, her best years gone and her face annoyed by this recent piece of news, "plenty of our new prospects joined this academy to get a pact with one of the heirs of 72 pillars."
The 72 pillars, or those that were left, were the real power on the Underworld, the richest, the strongest and most powerful. Most of them already had deals and alliances with prominent families of magus with the exception of the ones present to a certain extent.
The truth about Rutal was that he was there just to keep an eye on Rias Gremory. She and the other two were the heiresses of three Pillars with two of them being siblings of two of the new Maous. A pact with him didn't mean the support of his whole clan but it was still valuable.
