Jack and sky head back to the academy where the other exiles were waiting with various weapons like they were preparing for war. They explained the situation to them and all walk back in to the grounds while waiting for the next action from jack given that he had already told the police to check back in 7 days. Sky excuses himself and heads to a different place while the rest goes back to their meeting room. He walks over to Rin's residence and enters, looking for Davi but runs into danzai first
"Hey there... "
"Sky sensei"
"Where's Davi?"
"He's in a tough spot now...but his room is over there"
Danzai walks sky to his room and knocks then sky opens the door and sees the girl sitting on Davi with him looking like he's uncomfortable but doesn't want to show it. They both turn and sees danzai and sky staring at them with disappointed looks on their face. Davi pushes her over and stands up to meet them and they realize she wasn't wearing anything apart from a robe and felt more shocked. Danzai tried to hide his but sky said his mind
"At least lock the door"
"W-wait... Sky sensei it's not what you think?"
"What did you think I'm thinking?"
Davi couldn't reply to the question and walked out signalling danzai and sky to follow him to a much safer place where they could discuss without interference
"I'll go straight to the point.... How did you find the location of the grave group?"
"It was her..."
"Her?"
"The girl in my room... She gave me that information in exchange for staying with me"
"Who's she to you..."
"I'm afraid I can't disclose that to you guys just yet... I'm looking for a way to expose her without her noticing"
"Oh so that was what 'that' is all about"
"No that was.... Oh well"
Sky and Davi continued their conversation while something drew danzai's attention to another place. He walked to the back of the house until he gets to the fence but doesn't see anything so he decides to go back but runs into Matthew who looked like he had been expecting him for a long time
"You ..."
Danzai raises his guard prepared to notify the others at any time but Matthew had other plans
"You won't snitch"
"Why do you think so"
"Cause I've what you're looking for"
"What..."
"You want to be strong right?... I've come to propose a way"

Aira walked into her room with a satisfied look on her face. She had just come from visiting the children she saved in the billions arc are took some time to talk to her father. Despite not being her real father,she had an unusual bond with him and tolerated his misconduct at times while acting like a good daughter. At the time when her father beat danzai and she found out, she made sure he got an earful without fail. The academy sent her an email to come over to their lab building where they were developing something confidential.
After arriving, giyu the Lab head walked her to the part of the Lab where they train different people for different purposes concerning the embodiments. After performing some rounds of normal exercise,she decided to ask about her being there at that moment
"Um... Giyu why was I invited here"
"You haven't realized?.... You're gonna work in the lab. You're a certified embodiment unlike the likes of hoshino danzai..."
"What does this have to do with him"
"Oh sorry my bad.... but we all know that he's gonna fail sonner or later"
She couldn't hear any more
"can I leave it that's all you called me here to talk about..."
Giyu held him from saying more and walked her to where she's supposed to begin work soon
"Do you know what this is?..."
"The killing stone"
"Do you know it's uses?"
"No"
Giyu explains to her that the killing stone is a blade made out to outer gods essence which can be used to slay devils. But because they haven't fully made it,it wasn't introduced to jack and the others. Giyu stated that out of all the exiles,only sky knows of it's existence at this point
"But there's a limitation... Reincarnated embodiments can't wield it and exiles shouldn't know about it "
"So what's my part in this"
"That's were you come in.... With your ability to accurately deduce whatever you're looking for... You should find the quickest way to complete the weapon and the perfect person that could wield it"
"Right now?...."
"Take your time... Feel free to stop by any time you're ready... It's something only you can do"
Giyu walks away after that
"..."
ON A SKYSCRAPER NOT TO FAR FROM THE ACADEMY
A man wearing a white coat with matching outfits lies flat with his face towards the sun. The man is the same one who saved danzai from his teammates back at nayuta. He stares at the sun without a care for the world an blinked at intervals while his dark green hair covers up some part of his face from the high temperatures
"Lazy...."
Another man teleports there with a weapon like he just came back from a battle with monsters and looked tensed. He called out to the man who seemed to be enjoying himself
"Why are you lazying around doing nothing at a time like this?"
"Sorry... My bad,I just felt bored being stuck in that hole so I decided to take a breather"
"What about your missions"
"Come on are you my father or what... I've done it already, and besides there's something I'm doing here"
The man gave up on trying to talk him into taging along and walks out
"Forget it.... Suit yourself punk, just make sure to complete the mission"
"Yes...."
After a while of silence, he sits up and adjust his hair while feeling for his sword
"Hikaru never told me there would be devils"
