A Mutant's Ascension

[Rating Game Field ]

The wayward team members of Orias' Team didn't even stand a chance when Vali along with his team ambushed them. Even though Orias' Team members were quite surprised… They still managed to inform Orias about this development, but unfortunately for them, they couldn't even last half a minute against Vali and his Team.

Since Vali already knew that Orias and his team were coming, Vali decided to stand his ground and greet Orias. He wondered how Orias was going to react… Orias reacted very poorly, but he still didn't lose his mind even though Vali kept on egging him. Tre, Orias was completely enraged, but he still stopped himself from giving in to his rage.

The Rating lasted for another 30 minutes, but Vali and his Team finally prevailed. Only one of the new members of his team was eliminated. The others were completely fine except for some of them being tired. So, as soon as the Game Field dissolved, Vali left the Game Field along with his Team members with a smug grin on his face. He didn't even need to use his Balance Breaker in the fight… So, he was quite satisfied with himself.

Without wasting any more time, Grayfia announced the 3rd Match of the Elimination Match of the Fallen Angels Faction…

Tobio Ikuse and Bathin entered the Game Field and made their way towards the stage. Through the usual method, it was decided that Tobio Ikuse and Bathin were going to face each other in an Object Break Game. Since everyone was quite familiar with the Game, Grayfia didn't bother to explain anything…

So, after 6 long hours… It was Team Tobio who won the Rating Game. There were some instances of action, but both of the Teams have prioritized looking for the Objects, instead of direct conflict… So, with Tobio Ikuse as the 3rd qualifier of the Elimination Round, the Elimination Round for the Fallen Angels Faction came to an end…

[POV Reo]

"Thanks for your hospitality, Reo-San" Once again, Yasaka thanked me for inviting them yesterday. She bowed cutely as she bowed her head… How her boobs haven't spilled out of that dress is still a mystery. It must have been some bullshit anime logic… Well, with the way things are going, I am pretty sure that those milkers are going to be in my hands in the foreseeable future.

"No need to thank me, I love spending time with Kunou" I said and the smile on Yasaka's face intensified. "She is a lovely girl…" I trailed off. I wasn't buttering Yasaka to get my hands inside her kimono, I was simply being honest… I don't know how Kunou was able to connect with me in such a manner.

Yasaka beamed at me with a bright smile on her face. "I have never seen her so happy with anyone…" Yasaka gushed out excitedly though, after a few moments, her face turned completely solemn. "Kunou has always missed her father figure in her life…" Yasaka said solemnly and after a couple of seconds, she finally realized what she had said and started to blush brightly like a schoolgirl.

"No no… sorry! I didn't mean it in that way!!" Yasaka quickly stammered out an apology and I simply waved her off her apology with a wave of my hand.

"No need to apologize, Yasaka-San. I understand what you mean… To be honest, she already has me wrapped around her cute little fingers…" I said with a small smile on my face as I kept staring at Kunou who was playing with Luna and her Familiar Orochi…

After hearing my words Yasaka started to chuckle while covering her mouth. "Why don't you join us today too?" I asked Yasaka who gave me a grateful smile, but after only a second she started to shake her head.

"Thanks for the invitation, Reo-San, but I would have to refuse the offer" Yasaka said in an apologetic tone. "I didn't return to my territory last night. As a leader, I have lots of duties, namely Paperwork… I can't have the paperwork piling up or it would be a disaster" Yasaka said, looking completely resigned. 

I could understand where she was coming from… Due to my Omnipresence, I know that Paperwork is the arch-nemesis of all the people who were in some sort of leadership position. Hela was an exception to this rule as she had hired a whole team of Devils, Fallen Angels, and Angels to take care of her Paperwork and she had been using the Heaven's System to keep an eye on them so that none of them could do anything to create a mess. 

Additionally, everyone on those Teams was completely terrified of Hela, so they never thought of doing anything behind Hela's back. All of them were family people, so they knew that if they tried anything, then Hela wouldn't be coming just after them, but their whole families. Their pay was also pretty good… So, that also helped.

"I understand… Paperwork can be really stressful and nobody wants to deal with mountains of paperwork" I said softly while giving her an understanding look and Yasaka could only smile after hearing my words.

"...By the way, there was something I had been meaning to ask, but I never got the chance" Yasaka began to say, so I simply gestured her to continue. "Can you tell me everything about basilisks? I mean what they like to eat and if they need any special conditions or not?" Yasaka requested in a polite tone and even though I looked completely fine on the outside, internally I was grimacing.

I really wanted Luna to be the one to answer those questions since she was the one responsible for hatching the damn snake. It was not like that I didn't know everything about their species, but I simply didn't want to be the one to tell a mother that her cute little daughter was carrying a murderous snake that could kill anyone with a gaze and I decided to leave aside the poison… 

"Well… there are quite a few things you need to know before you can start taking care of a basilisk…" I said after taking a deep breath. I clearly noticed the smug look Luna was giving me and moments later, her smug look turned into an innocent look. Ohhh… Luna is going to pay… I am going to make her bend over my knees before giving her a nice smacking.

After hearing my words, Yasaka immediately became quite curious and leaned forward. "Basilisks are extremely dangerous" that was the first thing I explained about Basilisks and Yasaka immediately became worried and glanced towards her daughter who was still playing with her new Familiar. 

"You don't have to worry about Kunou. She is completely safe around Orochi due to her Familiar bond but the others around her need to be extremely careful… Kunou would need to set up some ground rules for Orochi" I said in a firm tone and Yasaka still looked very worried, but she still decided to listen to everything I had to say.

"First of all, Orochi is extremely young, so you don't need to worry that much, but in a few months, Orochi will gain the most dangerous ability. After his eyes are completely developed, he would be able to kill anyone around him with a simple gaze…" I revealed and Yasaka gasped in complete horror as she coerced her mouth.

To be honest, I don't have any idea if the gaze of a Basilisk could kill any of the Supernatural beings like Devils, Fallen Angels, or Angels, but I still decided to warn Yasaka because it was better to be safe than sorry. I think I would need to conduct some experiments in a few months. 

"Kunou simply needs to tell Orochi to keep his eyes covered by the protective eyelids of his eyes, that would take care of the problem" I said and Yasaka nodded her head with a dumb look on her face. "Next, the venom. I honestly don't know if there are any means to counter the basilisk venom without Phoenix Tears. I will ask my fiancés to conduct some tests" I said and right now, Yasaka was completely white as a sheet.

I knew that Yasaka didn't have any reason to worry, but she was a mother. Any loving mother would worry for her child… For now, I decided to refrain from telling her that Orochi might grow up to be bigger than her house… That would have been too much for her. 

"Are you sure that Kunou is going to be safe?" Yasaka asked in a worried tone. "Now that I know what basilisks are capable of, I don't want a basilisk anywhere near my daughter, but at the same time, I know that Orochi will be the best protector for my daughter…" Yasaka said with a conflicted look on her face.

"Don't worry… Luna will help Kunou take care of Orochi. Luna is extremely good with animals…" I added with a small smile on my face and Yasaka simply gave me a reluctant nod…
