Morrigan stop," ordered the man with a sad look on his face.
The woman looked into those eyes as she realized just how many painful memories she was forcing to the surface, "sorry," she apologized before returning to her seat.
Lugh just shook his head and returned to the matter at hand with a frown, "you do raise some good points though,
we do need to find out how that boy got this knowledge," he commented as he frowned in concentration.
Suddenly an amused smile crossed his face as he stared at Morrigan, "what are you planning?" asked the black clad woman warily.
"Morrigan, my dear sweet Morrigan, I need you to do me a favour," praised Lugh with a grin.
"I refuse," replied Morrigan immediately as she got up from the table.
Her companion just frowned, "but you haven't even heard what it is yet!"
The woman just scoffed, "I don't care."
"Hmm…I see I thought you would have jumped at the chance to get closer to my son, oh well," sighed Lugh, only to grin widely as Morrigan sat back down on her seat with a faint blush on her face.
"Alright I'll bite, how does this favour of yours have anything to do with Cú Chulainn?" she questioned skeptically.
The jovial smile dropped from Lugh's face, "this boy clearly has some form of connection to my son and I want to know what it is."
"You want me to spy on him," stated Morrigan with a frown.
"Now, now, spying is such a harsh word. I prefer the term observing," smiled the man.
"Why ask me? There are plenty of others who can do the job better," reminded the scowling woman.
"True," he admitted with a nod. "But as much as it pains me to admit it, you're the only one I trust right now. The only one with enough motivation to actually try and help."
"The others might just kill him before he becomes a threat, I understand. Cú Chulainn wasn't the most popular among us," nodded Morrigan.
"My son did have a habit of making more enemies than he did friends," agreed Lugh with a sigh.
"I can watch over him, but what will you tell the others? They will get suspicious at my absence, not to mention that they might send over assassins themselves," asked Morrigan.
"You just leave the politics to me, trust me I can be very persuasive if I need to be," grinned the man happily.
Morrigan just shook her head in disbelief, "who would have thought the God of the Sun and the Goddess of Death and Destruction would actually work together?"
"Truly these are dark times," agreed Lugh in a somber tone that didn't match his smiling face.
The two members of the Celtic Mythos gave respective laughs before sealing the deal with a handshake and Morrigan got up from their table.
The black clad Goddess frowned as walked out of the castle and transformed into a large black crow as it flew off into the distance.
Then there was a flash of light that marked the Goddess's departure from the Otherworld and her return to the human world.
Issei sighed as he rubbed his sore shoulders and tried to soothe his aching muscles, the teen couldn't remember the last time he had felt this exhausted.
That spar with Kiba had gotten way more out of hand then he would have liked but at least he now had a baseline for what a Devil knight's speed was like.
Assuming Kiba's speed was the average level displayed by most Devils then Issei could honestly say he was quite impressed with the peerage system.
Sure, they were nowhere near the levels of the Rider or Lancer class from the Holy Grail Wars, the fact that he could keep up with them in the Include state was proof of that,
but unlike the Grail system it wasn't limited to a single individual. If every normal human that was reincarnated as a knight gained that level of speed then it was no wonder that Devils were so successful.
Frowning Issei looked down on his fist as he remembered the force from his punch that sent Kiba flying, which was definitely not his natural strength so why did it come from?
While the Lancer card did increase his strength it mostly focused on speed and agility and certainly didn't increase his strength to that extent, so what was it?
"Is something wrong?" asked Issei.
"No it just isn't what I expected you to have; I can't detect any sign of a dragon residing in the spear, in fact I don't recognize this Sacred Gear at all," informed Rias with a frown.
"Is that really such a big surprise? I'm sure you haven't memorized every single Sacred Gear in existence," replied the teen.
Rias nodded, "true but that spear doesn't feel like a Sacred Gear but something else entirely…"
Issei frowned as he remembered the conversation with Rias that he'd had last night and started clenching and unclenching his fist.
He had just assumed Raynare had mistaken the Class Cards for a Sacred Gear but Rias said that Gae Bolg didn't feel like one, maybe Raynare wasn't mistaken.
Assuming that Rias was telling the truth then the Fallen Angel shouldn't have mistaken the Class Cards for a Sacred Gear, which left only one option. He had a Sacred Gear.
That bastard Zelretch, I bet he knew all along and thought it would be funny to not tell me!" growled Issei as he began heading to the troll's 'home.'
He was going to make that old man help him activate his Sacred Gear and then he was going to enjoy testing it out on the damned troll.
If anyone had been in the deserted street at that moment then they would have been slightly disturbed at the excited smile that crossed Issei's face as he brought out his phone.
"Hey dad? Yeah it's me, just letting you know that I'll be home late tonight. Yeah sorry about dinner, why don't you just order pizza? Cool thanks, remember to save me a slice," laughed Issei as he called his father.
