The Heroine Eavesdropped on My Voice Heart

Chapter 96: The conflict of devils and exorcists that took place at Kuoh Academy

(Kuoh City- Kuoh Academy)

An hour ago before Qin Tian received a call from Rias.

Rias, Sona, and their peerage had met with two exorcists sent by the Church.

The two exorcists introduced themselves as Irina Shidou and Xenovia Quarta. Without further ado, Xenovia immediately explained their purpose for coming there. She casually suspected the group of devils that they might be involved with the theft of Excalibur fragments from the Church.

Rias, Sona and their Peerage were certainly not happy about being slandered about something they never did. And why would a devil like them bother stealing Excalibur fragments, they couldn't even touch the thing comfortably because of the holy energy from the Excalibur fragments that would hurt their skin. Although not at a dangerous level depending on how strong a devil's resistance to holy energy is. But, still devils like them couldn't use objects like Excalibur fragments.

So why would they bother stealing the Church's Excalibur fragments? It's not like their devil faction was completely defenseless against the Church or anything like that. If the devil faction seriously wanted to eliminate the Church faction, as people from the devil faction naturally believed they would come out victorious.

There was a conflict between the devil group and the two exorcists at the school. Yuuto, who had a hatred for objects like Excalibur from the Church, could not stand it anymore and challenged the two exorcists to a fight. Yuuto wants to destroy the Excalibur fragments, and with his power that has increased a lot thanks to Qin Tian. He is very confident to defeat the two exorcists.

Xenovia sneered, she looked down on devils like Yuuto, but she could feel Yuuto's aura which seemed to be powerful indeed. So she used her magic to bring out her sword, Durandal, from another dimension.

Irina also took out her sword, one of the Excalibur fragments, Excalibur Mimic. She prepared for battle, not only to fight Yuuto, but also the other devil groups.

But Rias, Sona, and their Peerage didn't move. Rias told her friends not to interfere, and to let Yuuto fight the two exorcists. Sona initially disagreed, but after being convinced by Rias about Yuuto's combat power in the Rating Game against Team Riser before. She nodded, and decided not to interfere. At least if Yuuto proved to be able to handle the two exorcists alone.

The two exorcists were naturally unhappy that only one devil would face them. They both felt slighted. In her frustration, Xenovia instantly swung Durandal and threw a giant slash filled with holy energy inside.

On the other hand, Yuuto looked calm. Unlike canon where he often lost his cool when fighting holy sword users. Although he still had a hateful gaze, he deflected the holy energy slashes coming towards him using his own demonic energy slashes. The sword-type Sacred Gear that Yuuto possesses, although it has not been able to reach the state of Balance Breaker. He could parry attacks from holy swords like Xenovia's Durandal. The two exorcists were surprised. Irina also decided to join Yuuto's attack, but none of her attacks could hit Yuuto.

With the sword technique that Qin Tian had taught him, his sword technique became smooth, fast, yet powerful. His body perfectly maneuvered every time an attack was about to hit him.

Yuuto is satisfied with the result of his training, he wants to show the result of his training to Qin Tian, but that is for later.

His senpai must be proud of him for successfully mastering the sword techniques he taught him.

At this point, the hatred for the Holy Sword has actually decreased a lot, especially when he can toy with those two exorcists with just his sword techniques.

Xenovia was panting from exhaustion after swinging Durandal with her magic energy so much.

Irina was also the same with her Excalibur Mimic, she looked at Yuuto as if the other party was a monster.

The two exorcists had many small scratches on their black body suits.

Yuuto smiled faintly. "Are we still going to continue?"

The blonde man didn't even look sweaty at all after the many

Xenovia gnashed her teeth irritably, she was still holding Durandal with both of her slightly trembling hands. "You devil... With that power it should be easy for you to steal the Excalibur fragments from the Church.

"Excuse me?" Yuuto almost stumbled hearing the blue-haired girl who slandered him.

"Your devil group must have stolen it! Return the Excalibur fragment to the Church!"

"...." Yuuto couldn't even look at Xenovia with a hateful gaze, he just stared at the blue-haired girl in confusion.

What was wrong with this exorcist's brain?

Why are you so stubbornly accusing our group of devils of stealing Excalibur fragments from the Church.

Yuuto turned his gaze on the brown-haired exorcist.

Irina just looked away, at this point she was actually convinced that this group of devils were not the ones who stole the Excalibur fragments. But she knew Xenovia was a stubborn person and her mind was rather narrow, especially when it came to creatures like devils.

"Umm. Xenovia, I don't think they really stole anything from the Church." Irina tried to persuade her friend, after all if they continued to fight. The result was obvious who would lose, the blonde man named Yuuto didn't even look like he was sweating after fighting the two of them so far.

All the attacks that she and Xenovia unleashed on the blonde man were successfully parried and dodged with ease. The other party's swordsmanship was completely above their league.

"But, Irina, we can't just trust those devils!" Xenovia was stubborn, she even still wanted to fight Yuuto even though she was clearly exhausted.

She ran up to Yuuto and made a quick slash coated in holy energy, but the other party casually parried her attack.

The slashes in red and black pushed Xenovia who was defending using her sword back ten meters and crashed into a tree.

"*Cough* *Cough* Ugh... I can't, I can't lose..." Xenovia coughed up blood, she stood up while using Durandal to support her body.

"Xenovia!" Irina ran towards her blue-haired friend and helped her walk.

Yuuto stopped attacking and sighed, he felt that he was not in the mood to continue the fight, even he was also not in the mood to destroy the Holy Swords of the two exorcists.

Yuuto felt complicated in his heart, he wanted revenge, but his hatred for the Holy Sword like Excalibur had actually decreased a lot.

It seemed like this was because of the sword technique he learned from Qin Tian. That sword technique required clarity of mind to use, and automatically Yuuto's hatred when using that sword technique also disappeared. He felt his mind clear and began to question why he even hated an object like the Holy Swords?

He remembered that in the past his friends were sacrificed just to be experimental materials for the Holy Sword Project, he felt the fire of hatred surging in his heart, but this time his hatred was not directed at the Holy Swords.

But to the person who performed that experiment on his friends, he should hate that person.

The figure of the fat old man with glasses flashed in Yuuto's mind.

He gritted his teeth, but quickly calmed himself down. His body felt lighter than before, he could see the world in front of his eyes wider and clearer.

The Sacred Gear sword in his hand looked more pleasing to the eye, he felt that his mastery of sword techniques also rose to a new level.

He swung his sword into the air beside him, without using his magic. A very wide slash of wind was created, splitting many trees in the process.

The forest behind the school, now had many fallen trees.

Yuuto was speechless, he really had a power-up?

He looked at the two exorcists with a grateful look in his eyes. If they hadn't come looking for trouble he probably wouldn't have gotten any enlightenment in his sword techniques.

'I should let Tian Senpai see my progress in his sword techniques later! Un, he must be proud of me.'

Instead of thinking it would be easy for him to take revenge on the person he hated, he was actually more looking forward to the praise from Qin Tian.

Rias, Sona and the others were astonished to see Yuuto seemed to be getting stronger.

Rias was proud to see her Knight's combat power. "As expected from my warrior, it is not in vain that he was trained by Tian."

"Ara, Ara, my Kuouhai is getting stronger. As his Senpai; I seem to have to train harder so as not to be left behind by him." Akeno said while playing with a small holy lightning ball on one of her fingers.

Rias nodded with a smile. Her eyes emitted a crimson light, she deliberately placed her magic in her eyes. "You're right, Akeno. Tomorrow we will have another training session in the underworld."

"Fufufu, of course Rias."

"Okay, Buchou."

Koneko even joined in, she clenched her fist full of senjutsu with eyes full of determination towards the trees that Yuuto had just destroyed with ease.

Sona, who was standing close to Rias' group, looked at Rias and her peerage with an envious and annoyed look.

"Tch, these people are showing off..."

Tsubasa who saw Sona's jealousy, approached her and whispered in her ear.

"Kaichou, why don't we ask Tian-kun to help train us? You can ask him as your Contracted Witch request."

"Ahhh... Tsubaki, you're right."

Sona stared at the queen and her deputy in amazement, why was Tsubaki so smart?

If Tsubaki heard this, she would just say that she was at least above average.

She not stupid to begin with, okay? Please don't say that again.

Genshihro Saji, who had just joined the Sona peerage as a reincarnation devil pawn a week ago, looked at Yuuto in amazement and envy.

He also wants to be OP like Yuuto, and maybe become Super OP like that man named Qin Tian.

Although he has never talked and seen his power directly, but he has been told by his king, Sona. That the third year student named Qin Tian is very strong and he should not provoke him.

It seemed like Sona praised Qin Tian a lot, making him jealous because he actually had a crush on Sona. He hasn't had the courage to express his feelings for now of course.

He clenched his fists. "I have to become really strong to be worthy of her before doing that."

Saji muttered in a low voice, but the white-haired girl named Momo Hanakai who was one of Sona's peerage heard him.

She sighed looking at Saji who seemed to think he had a chance to get Sona's heart.

Irina helped support her blue-haired friend's body while walking towards the devil group.

She looked at Yuuto complexly, she recognized that she could not defeat him and the most logical choice now was to surrender.

She had also managed to convince Xenovia to surrender, although the haired girl looked reluctant, but in the end she nodded and chose to surrender.

Yuuto understood the two exorcists had surrendered, so he removed his Sacred Gear and walked back to his group.

Rias looked at the two exorcist and asked. "So how was it? Are you two still going to continue suspecting us of being thieves?"

Xenovia sighed, she looked calmer now. "No, it looks like you guys really aren't the culprits. Although I'm not 100% sure, but my partner and I decided to give up suspecting you devils. I know there are also other potential culprits who might be from other factions like the fallen angels."

Xenovia stated that, but she had no intention of apologizing at all, after all as she said. She was not 100% sure these devils were not the thieves she and her partner were looking for.

Irina sighed at her blue-haired friend's attitude. "Sorry for troubling you devils. If you have any information about the person who stole the Excalibur fragment from the Church, could you please contact us? I'm sorry, I know it's inappropriate for an exorcist to ask for such help from you, I know we have no right to--"

"Irina! What are you saying! Why are you asking a devil for help to- Mmmppphhh." Xenovia's mouth was silenced by Irina's hand.

Irina looked at her as if to tell her to shut up, you know finding the culprit who stole the Excalibur fragments from the Church is difficult.

The mission that the two of them received from the Church was basically difficult because they didn't even know for sure who the person they should go after was.

So it would be good if the devils at least helped them with their vast network of supernatural information.

"Sure, if I know anything I'll tell you two." Rias said with a friendly smile, she didn't want to continue the conflict with these two exorcists from the Church. She didn't even want to kill the two of them after all. Why? Because she knew there would be troublesome issues if she killed these two exorcists. It would cause a conflict with the Church that would probably be troublesome.

If it could be resolved peacefully, it was better to do so and not complicate life.

Rias's mentality was now more mature. If it was the old her, she probably wouldn't have let the two exorcists off so easily after slandering her group and picking fights with their arrogant attitude, especially that blue-haired girl named Xenovia.

The blue-haired girl still had a look of disbelief and hostility towards her devil group.

Sona and the others also agreed with Rias' decision not to escalate this conflict.

"Thank you!" Irina thanked the red-haired devil, she even gave her cell phone number to the other party so they could contact her later.

"You're welcome." Rias said as she put the brown-haired girl's contact number into her pocket

Xenovia snorted, she was still dissatisfied but she kept quiet for the sake of her friend.

At the moment Rias, the two exorcists, and the others had a brief discussion about the theft of Excalibur's fragments from the Church.

The afternoon sky above the school suddenly became overcast, making the people in the school shudder, including the group of Rias, Sona and the two exorcists.

They looked around warily as they sensed a magical barrier covering the entire area of the school, including the forest behind the school where they were currently.

Suddenly a sizable portal opened from the sky and many people in black robes with silver masks of various designs came out of the portal. They seemed to be flying in the sky while carrying various sophisticated-looking weapons in their hands.

There were probably hundreds of them, covering part of the sky above the school.

Everyone was in a state of combat readiness at the moment. Rias with her PoD, her red hair fluttering with a crimson aura around her. Akeno with her holy lightning, Kiba with his sword creation, Koneko with her Senjutsu, Sona with her water magic and already taking formation with her combat partners.

Irina and Xenovia were also in a state of combat readiness, they both took out their respective holy swords. They both stood on the side of the devil group because they sensed that the group of cloaked people did not come with good intentions.

This meant that those people also seemed to be targeting them!

The robed people flew lower and directly surrounded the group of devils and exorcists.

They pointed their weapons, all tense. Rias shouted at the cloaked people. "Who are you guys?! Don't you guys know the consequences of attacking us?"

What Rias meant was her, Sona, and status as the heir and supervisor in this town. With her background, any supernatural faction should think twice about attacking her and Sona's group.

If her older brother knew his younger sister was being surrounded by these people with bad intentions. Rias was sure her older brother would go berserk and start the massacre, he would throw his gentle personality out the window.

Sona was the same, her siscon older sister would definitely do the same as her older brother.

And her boyfriend, Qin Tian would probably also...

The people in robes didn't answer, they immediately attacked using their weapons.

Numerous blue-colored laser-like attacks with condensed magic energy were released from all directions.

Rias clucked her tongue, those people are crazy!

"Be careful everyone!"

Rias created a barrier using her PoD to surround everyone on her side. Many attacks crashed into her crimson barrier. Akeno threw dozens of holy lightning spears from inside Rias' barrier at the cloaked people. Yuuto followed using his long-range sword slash, Koneko happened to have learned a long-range attack technique using her Senjutsu, a white fireball was created in her hand and she threw it at the cloaked people in the sky.

Sona released her water magic, a ten-meter water dragon opened its jaws and flew into the sky to annex the robed people. Tsubaki with her Alice's Mirror Reversal Sacred Gear helped Rias to deflect the laser attacks from the cloaked people. Dozens of mirrors surrounded Rias' barrier and reflected the laser attacks onto the cloaked men.

Irina and Xenovia also attacked from inside the barrier using their holy swords, a lot of holy energy had been thrown at the cloaked people, but because of the fight with Yuuto earlier, they actually wouldn't last long. The stamina and magic of the two of them were almost exhausted.

Explosion after explosion occurred in the forest behind the school, the ground was destroyed, the trees became ashes, some trees were burned, and the school building was also destroyed due to stray attacks.

In the process, many of the cloaked people were blown up, but instead of exploding into pieces of meat, they exploded into metal fragments.

Rias and her people realized that the group attacking them was not human or living. The cloaked people seemed to be some kind of advanced robots that used technology and magic together.

*Cracks*

Rias' PoD barrier cracked, even though it could regenerate as long as Rias had enough magic, but the damage the barrier continued to take was too fast for the barrier to regenerate!

"This is strange! Haven't we reduced the number of them by a lot? Why are the attacks coming more and more!"

Rias's annoyed shout was heard by everyone.

Sona looked at the portal above the sky, as her vision was obstructed by the barrier and the enemies surrounding her. She could only see a little from the gap in her vision and she was dumbfounded.

"Rias, I know why the enemy attacks are increasing and not decreasing even though we have destroyed many of them..."

"Why?"

"The portal."

Rias understood what Sona was saying, she sighed and gritted her teeth.

"So their numbers keep growing from that portal. If this continues, we'll run out of magic before destroying all those cloaked robots."

Everyone who heard this became worried.

Sona who continued to cast her water magic into the sky, spoke with sweat dripping down her forehead. "We don't even know for sure how many troops the enemy has.... We have to call for help. I'll contact my sister. Rias, you should too--"

"I know, I'll call my brother too." Rias agreed quickly, after all she knew her own limits.

This situation couldn't be handled by her and her friends. So she had to ask for help.

But when Rias and Sona tried to contact the other party using voice transmission using magic, they couldn't do it.

"Damn it... The enemy barrier also blocked the magic transmission! Rias, what about you?"

"I am also the same..." Rias said while gritting her teeth, the attacks against her barrier were getting more and more powerful. She couldn't hold back any longer.

The people inside the barrier panicked and felt fear in their hearts. But they gritted their teeth and continued to endure as long as possible.

They wondered why this robot army was attacking them? What did the enemy want?

Rias who felt many cracks in her barrier, began to think critically at this point. If she couldn't ask for outside reinforcements using her magic, she couldn't even ask anyone for help, especially her boyfriend.

Wait, her boyfriend?

She quickly took out her cell phone from her pocket, although she knew the magic voice transmission was blocked by the enemy barrier, but what if he used technology?

Rias stared at her cell phone flatly. "It really managed to connect? The enemy only seems to be blocking magic communication."

Sona and the others were surprised to hear what Rias said, they had hope with this.

Rias called Qin Tian and connected, the cracks of her barrier also getting worse in the process, making her panic!

"Hello Riri, what's wrong? Did you miss me?" Qin Tian's voice asked seductively from the cell phone.

Rias' lips twitched, she wanted to say "Yes, I missed you." but the current situation was not right!

"T-Tian, you must hurry to school right now! There are black-robed people with strange masks attacking our school! They're so strong, my peerage and I--"

Before Rias could finish speaking, the enemy launched an even stronger attack than before. It was a large-scale, yellow-colored laser attack unleashed by a silver robot with red eyes that was different from the other cloaked robots.

The attack destroyed the PoD barrier and the people inside the barrier were naturally affected.

"Everyone!!"

"Rias!!"

*BOOOOOM!!!*

...

A short while after that. A huge explosion occurred in the back debt of the school which was now no longer a forest, but ruins.

"*cough* *cough* Are you all okay?" Rias coughed up blood, her face pale. The small crimson barrier, yet thicker than before broke.

Showing Rias who was currently sitting on the ground with everyone so close.

Previously, when her barrier broke, she immediately made another barrier, yet thicker than before by shrinking its size. Therefore she had to pull everyone in and get close to her so that everyone could fit inside the barrier.

Fortunately he managed to do so, otherwise they would have been completely blown away by the previous attack.

"I-I'm fine... Thank you, Rias."

"Me too, Rias."

"I'm fine too, Buchou."

"Thank you, Rias gremory."

"Me too!"

Everyone thanked Rias, they were at least alive, even though there were some minor injuries on their bodies. The two exorcists also thanked Rias for saving their lives.

Rias nodded at everyone, but her pale face made everyone worried.

"Rias, you..."

"I'm fine Sona, I just spent my magic on the barrier earlier."

After the dust around subsided, they saw many enemies surrounding them. No one could move from the ground because everyone was exhausted.

Rias and the others looked at the many robots that surrounded them with fear.

A silver robot with red eyes that looked like a giant human spoke in a monotone voice to all the other cloaked robots, it seemed like he was the leader of the robot army.

"Paralyze their arms and legs and take them to Master."

Several robots in robes approached Rias and the others' group while carrying laser swords.

The robots seemed intent on cutting off their limbs!

Everyone was terrified, some tried to resist but their bodies were pressed to the ground. Rias was the first to be approached by the robot carrying the sword, the red-haired girl was terrified as she sat on the ground.

'Tian!' She only shouted her lover's name in her mind while closing her eyes.

As the robot swung its sword and was about to cut Rias. The robot's movements froze, all the robots there were unable to move as if they were held back by something.

At this moment the heroines around the world heard a voice so cold and full of killing intent that their bodies shuddered and trembled with fear.

Even for those heroines who had God-level strength or above. They all felt terrified hearing the voice of the person they knew at this moment.

It was Qin Tian's voice, yet he didn't sound like his usual self.

[The fools who dared to attack my woman... You guys are really looking for death... If I had been a second too late earlier... Haaa... I might have to consider starting a massive Genocide. Even so, the people who attacked my woman should definitely die.]

***

Sorry the previous day I had a busy day in the real world so I couldn't write a daily chapter because I was tired. By the way I want stones, please.

And please for people who know about the details of the DxD canon plot and know that a lot of the information in this chapter is not appropriate, for example, the sword Xenovia used against Yuuto here and other things. I just want to say that I deliberately changed it to what I wanted. Actually, I've modified the DxD canon plot quite a lot and I'm saying this just to remind you guys not to complain about something that doesn't fit DxD canon.
