'If I remember right, both Basara and Mio are supposed to be in class A-2...' Kazuki thought as he stood in front of the door to class A-2. He then proceeded to open the door, gaining the attention of the students that remained in the class during the break. He looked at through the students in the class until his eyes landed on a familiar sky-blue colored hair.

"Yuki-Chan~~ come and give big brother a hug~~~" Kazuki said with a smile, opening his arms

"Kazuki-San?" asked Yuki, with a puzzled look on her face

"You're horrible, Yuki-Chan! You used to call me 'Onii-Sama!' all the time, and now you're treating me coldly!" Kazuki said with a fake sad expression.

"That's was when I was little. What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to visit you and Basara! Speaking of which, where is he?" Kazuki said as he looked around the classroom, and saw the Red Dragon Emperor, his sister, and then his gaze landed on a girl with long black hair and red eyes, staring back at him, who Kazuki recognized as the one he came here for - Akame Kirishima.

The stared at each other before Kazuki heard Yuki starting to speak and turned his gaze back to Yuki:

"He and his friend went to the roof" Yuki stated

"Thank you, Yuki-Chan~" he said and then turned his gaze to his sister, and approached her, saying:

"Your Jin's new adopted daughter, Mio-Chan, right?"

Mio, who was wary of him, since she already knew that Yuki was a part of the Hero Clan, said:

"Yes, I am. What of it?"

"Since Jin is on a trip for his work, and your Mother is abroad, Jin asked me to look after you guys, so I'll occasionally come to check on you, so we'll be sure to meet quite a lot. My name is Kazuki, nice to meet you!" Kazuki said as he held out his hand

"Nice to meet you too…" said Mio, as she took his hand, still suspicious of him

"Well, I'll go and say hi to Basara. I'll see you both around, Yuki-Chan, Mio-Chan!" Kazuki said and walked out of the class

~~~ With Mio ~~~

After Kazuki left, Mio and Yuki locked eyes, and both walked out of the class and went to the girls' locker room. After confirming that they were alone, Mio spoke up:

"Who was that guy?" she asked Yuki

"He's friends with both my parents and Basara's father. Since I was young, my parents would often meet up with him outside of the village, and brought me and my sister with them. He was the only person we knew from outside of the village, so we used to look up to him. But when Basara was banished, those meetings started to decrease, until we stopped meeting him. It's my first time meeting him in three years. The only time I met him in the village, is after what happened to Basara. From what I understand, he somehow tied Brynhildr to Basara, stabilizing it with some kind of magic I haven't seen my whole life. Even now, he was the only one I saw using that kind of magic"

"So, is he dangerous?" Mio asked

"At the very least, I know he won't hurt me or Basara since he is very good friends with our parents"

"Is he strong?"

"I don't know since I never really fought him, but I know he can use magic and has some kind of knowledge in swordsmanship since he used to help me and Basara. Since Basara is with you, I don't think you should worry"

"If you say so"

~~~ With Kazuki ~~~

As Kazuki made his way to the roof, he suddenly felt a burst of familiar demonic power coming from the direction of the roof. As he reached the door that leads to the roof, the demonic energy have already calmed down, and he opened the door. He saw two young men he recognized. One has unkempt brown hair and light green eyes, who he recognized as Basara, Jin's son, and the other one has green hair with strands of his hair showing off his forehead and purple colored eyes, who he recognized as Lars, a demon who belongs to the Demon Lord Faction, and one of the most promising young demons.

"Basara! It's been a while!" Kazuki said with a wide smile, as he approached the two.

"Kazuki-San!? What are you doing here?" asked a surprised Basara

"Jin told me to look after you and your new 'sisters'..." Kazuki said and then turned his gaze to Lars, who had a terrified expression as he looked at him.

"And look at who we have here! Looks like Leo trusts you quite a lot that he sent you to watch over Mio. I didn't know Leo was such a fool!" Kazuki said with a smirk

Lars then sighed and answered with a smirk of his own

"I shouldn't have believed that someone of your caliber has died..." Lars said

"Died? What are you talking about?" asked Basara, with a puzzled expression

"I'll explain later. So, now that you know that I'm alive, you know that I can't allow you to report it to Leo, right?" Kazuki said with a sinister smirk

"Are you going to kill me?" Lars said and took a fighting stance

"And waste your potential? No way! No, I'm going to make you a double agent. Of course, unlike Leo, I'm going to have a Master-Servant Pact with you, so you won't betray me like I know you'll try. I'm assuming you know it's futile to resist, don't you?"

"Yeah, I'm not stupid enough to believe I can defeat the strongest demon to ever exist"

'Strongest demon to ever exist!!??' thought Basara in shock

"I don't know if I'm the strongest. I never tried to fight my father for real, so I won't label me as the strongest… but it's good that you know your place" Kazuki said and placed a tracking spell on Lars

"I'll come later to take you. For now, I need you to deliver this to the assassin that learns in your class" he said and handed him an envelope

"You know about it too?" asked a slightly surprised Lars, and took the envelope

"Of course I know. Who do you think I am? Now go, I need to speak with Basara"

"I'll see you in class, Basachi..." said Lars and headed back to class A-2

~~~ With Lars ~~~

'For a moment there, I thought he was going to kill me…' Lars thought as he walked through the hallway

'What should I do? If I'll report to Leohart now, he'll kill me, and if I won't, I won't earn any money to give the orphanages… I guess that I don't have any choice but to listen to him, and when he'll trust me enough, I'll ask him for money as well…' Lars thought as he arrived at his classroom

When he entered, he made his way to Akame, until he stood in front of her. When he did, she raised her head from the book she was reading

"What do you want?" she asked him, narrowing her eyes

"I was told to give you this" Lars said, handed her the envelope, and went to his seat

~~~ With Akame ~~~

One of her classmates just handed her an envelope, Takigawa was his name? Anyway, when she took the envelope, she saw her name on it.

She opened the envelope, but instead of a letter, there was a picture on it. A picture of someone she knew very well. Someone she despised all of her life and hates from the bottom of her heart. It was a picture of a woman with long, light blue hair and blue eyes. It was clear that this picture was taken recently. In the bottom right of the picture, was written:

"If you want to find out more about her, come to the roof at the end of classes"

Akame clenched the picture hard, wrinkling it. She couldn't focus for the rest of the classes, because she was focused on the meeting with the one that sent her the picture...
