Kuoh Town, Kuoh Academy.
Because it was the weekend, the students at the school were on holiday.
Club members who might come on the weekend also received notice that they were prohibited from entering the school today.
Angels, as well as Devils and Fallen Angels, appeared one after another inside the school. According to the instructions issued by Michael and the others, they went to different corners to begin setting up powerful barriers.
"It's been a long time since I've seen such a scene."
"The last time I saw this kind of sight, it was during the Great War."
On the rooftop of the teaching building, Serafall, who was supervising the progress of the barrier, let out a sigh.
"The Great War... In that battle, we all lost too much."
Next to Serafall, an angel wearing luxurious clothes and possessing an impressive figure replied.
Pure white wings were present behind her, and a golden halo quietly floated above her head, emitting a holy radiance.
Serafall reached out and patted Gabriel's shoulder, a cheerful smile appearing on her face. "Gabriel, don't say things that spoil the mood at a time like this."
"Relax a little. Don't forget the purpose of our gathering here today."
"After today's meeting ends, the kind of thing that happened during the Great War will never happen again."
"Mm, that's exactly why I'm here." A gentle smile appeared on Gabriel's face.
Just as she was about to continue saying something, a strange magic fluctuation suddenly rose.
Turning her head to look, she saw that a teleportation magic array had appeared out of thin air on the rooftop.
The next second, a figure walked out from it.
"Hmm? Why are you here?" Serafall was a little surprised.
"Why I'm here, don't you know?" Tatsuma took out the application form and casually shook it twice.
Seeing this, Serafall instantly understood and made a scissor gesture next to her eye.
"How about it? Weren't you startled by the appearance of Magical Girl Levi?"
Tatsuma moved his wrists. "I just think you're asking for a beating."
Among the five people who applied for the Awakening quota this time, Sho relied on bribery, Toichiro used his authority to take on large tasks, Meredith formed cliques and small groups, and Satoru spent money on microtransactions. Only Serafall's contribution came entirely from intimidation.
Tatsuma said, "I'll give you ten seconds to come up with a reason. If you can't satisfy me, then you'll get a beating."
"Huh? It can't be, I just wanted to make a joke with you."
Serafall instantly panicked and cast a pleading look to the side. "Gabriel, quickly help me think of a way."
Gabriel tilted her head, indicating her confusion. "Even if you say that, I don't know what happened."
However, based on the principle of not arguing and getting along well, she took out a book from her storage space.
"Tatsuma-san, this is the trainig method for Heaven Communicating Talisman Art. If Serafall has caused you any displeasure, I hope you can forgive her."
Tatsuma was stunned for a moment, feeling a bit confused. "Heaven Communicating Talisman Art? Why does Heaven have this thing?"
Tatsuma had heard of this technique when he was catching up on information about various forces.
Heaven Communicating Talisman Art is one of the methods created by Jō Shifu after researching the path of talismans to the extreme.
After mastering it deeply, one can draw a thousand kinds of talismans in an instant, excelling in attack, defense, healing, and sealing.
Because of the high difficulty of learning and mastering it, only a few existences can come into contact with this technique.
It was clearly such a precious technique, so why would it appear in Gabriel's hands?
Gabriel said, "In the past few years, we have had some cooperation with the forces of China. This technique was given to me by a Heavenly Master."
"So that's how it is."
After hearing Gabriel's explanation, Tatsuma finally understood the origin of this technique.
Reaching out to take it, he glanced at Serafall who was hiding behind Gabriel. "Someone helped you this time, but it won't be so simple next time you cause trouble."
"Got it. Tatsuma, you're so strict."
"It's just that your way of joking is too bizarre. I didn't create Akatsuki for you to play with."
"Okay, then I apologize to you."
Serafall obediently apologized, then her eyes rolled towards the angel in front of her.
"Speaking of which, I haven't introduced you yet."
"This is Seraph Gabriel, who is representing Heaven at the meeting today along with Michael."
"Let me tell you a secret, Gabriel is still single."
Tatsuma rolled his eyes. "You seem to be talking nonsense."
If an angel were to feel lust and no longer be single, they would no longer be called an Angel, but a Fallen Angel.
Serafall said, "How boring, and I was planning to add a major general to your harem."
"Serafall, you're making things difficult for me."
Gabriel waved her hand, indicating that she had no interest in matters between men and women.
Seeing this, Serafall finally settled down.
There was nothing she could do, Gabriel had just helped her. Even if she wanted to use Gabriel as bait, she had to see if the other party was willing to cooperate.
"Good afternoon, Tatsuma-san."
Seeing that Serafall was no longer causing trouble, Gabriel greeted Tatsuma.
"After Michael met you last time, his evaluation of you was quite high. Seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary."
"On the point of being extraordinary, Gabriel-san, the same applies to you." Tatsuma paused in front of the other party.
An F-rank expert, terrifying as expected.
"Why are you two being so polite? Be a little more natural."
Just as Tatsuma and Gabriel were exchanging pleasantries, Serafall came over again.
"Speaking of which, Gabriel, do you want to visit Kuoh Town? There are quite a few interesting people here."
Gabriel said, "Hmm, I am a little interested in the place where the Red Dragon Emperor lives, but I still have to supervise the progress of the barrier."
Serafall pushed Gabriel's back. "You can leave that kind of thing to me. Let Tatsuma be your guide, and you two can walk around and see."
Gabriel asked, "Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
Serafall said, "There's nothing inappropriate, Tatsuma, what do you say?"
Exchanging glances with the winking Serafall for a second, Tatsuma nodded in response. "I'm quite free today. If you're interested in Kuoh Town, Gabriel, I can take you on a tour."
Gabriel hesitated for a moment but still agreed. "Then I'll trouble you."
"Yosh! This way no one will disturb us."
Watching Gabriel and Tatsuma leave, Serafall took out a formation diagram. This was given to her by Tatsuma a few days ago.
Serafall glanced over the diagram and looked ahead.
"Hey! Those few Angels over there, your Gabriel-sama has a task for you."
