Tales of the dragon slayer

Chapter 9: Season 1, Chapter 1

"He has an inside source." Sona clarified as they approached the faculty office and used a slight application of magic to enter. "A source that he can continue to gain information from, but only if this individual can remain undiscovered."

"Why would the Dragon-Slayer help us?" Ruruko asked as they entered the office, "He's not aligned with any faction."

"Another war between the three celestial factions would undoubtedly spill into this world." Momo said, educating their underclassman. "The magicals of this world wouldn't want that."

"So why are we breaking in at night to forge the Dragon-Slayer's acceptance into Kuoh Academy?" Tsubaki questioned, "And why are we sneaking around instead of using magic to teleport us in?"

"We can't exactly do anything against the Fallen Angels, can we?" Sona replied as they began to spread out in the dark office. "Nor can we let anyone, even Rias, know of this plan."

"What do you mean?" Ruruko asked, not having mastered the subtleties of supernatural politics.

"If we retaliate when the Fallen Angels attack it'll turn into a 'we said, they said' moment. Skirmishes like this happen quite a bit, but there isn't anything we can do to retaliate unless the fight turns lethal; even then there will be reprisals on both sides. The Dragon-Slayer believes this isn't a mere skirmish that these Fallen Angels are planning and he also fears that the humans might be caught in the crossfire." Sona explained. "His original plan was to warn us of the attack and then leave."

"So why is he staying?" Momo asked as she started gathering blank enrollment forms.

"Because Kaichō used her womanly charms to convince him to stay." Ruruko giggled as she lifted up a keyboard to see a list of passwords that an absent minded faculty member left as a reminder.

"I didn't mention the engagement to him yet, but you're not too far off." Sona admitted while using a bit of magic to forge a few signatures. "I couldn't let him leave town, not after he beat me in chess; and we can't exactly deal with the Fallen Angels on our own with out causing a diplomatic incident."

"So he deals with the Fallen Angels for us, and gets what in return?" Tsubaki asked as she watched Ruruko expertly navigate the computer files. "And why not bring this to Gremory-san?"

"As far as Rias goes, he didn't go to her because she's Governor and might already be under surveillance. She would be the obvious person that this information would go to." Sona replied. "And as far as what he's getting in return, the answer is 'not much'. If he's going to handle the Fallen Angels then it has to appear as if he's acting alone, so we can't exactly compensate him directly. Secrecy must be maintained, there cannot be any ties linking the Dragon-Slayer with either peerage."

"All done." Ruruko said, logging off the computer.

"Same here." Momo replied, "I've placed the files on Tanaka-sensei's desk. She's notorious for losing files, so this will be nothing new."

"Are you sure you want him in our class?" Tsubaki asked, "If he's suppose to maintain a distance, wouldn't it be better to put him in another class, perhaps another year?"

"He's not enrolling into our class, he's enrolling into the advanced class that we happen to be in. The Dragon-Slayer is a genius, he'd be bored in any other class." Sona explained to her [Queen], "Part of our agreement, and his payment, is that he gets to enroll in Kuoh Academy so that he can use his time here as a prep school for college, and Kuoh University is world renowned. He's an alchemist, so since he's finished his formal magical education he wants to focus on studying Science and Medicine."
