"They've left..." Rias hear Sona sighing in frustration as she stared at the report she had received that she had received a week and half now since Aether, Lumine and their cousins had left Kuoh, more specifically their teacher declared.

It was sudden and unexpected, they had thought that both would only be visiting St. Freya not expecting to be enrolled in said prestigious academy though in hindsight they should've expected it to happen after they've left to the academy.

They did not return after they'd left, and the only reason they knew about this was the fact that their homeroom teacher had been the one to inform that Aether and Lumine... transferred school.

This has been met with positive reaction from the perverted trio but negatively by the rest of their classmates and even the entire students across the academy... especially the girls given their closeness to Lumine or their interest over Aether.

There is also the fact Lumine was a good deterrent against the perverts since she is often known to beat them up, mostly if she discovered that the trio were trying to peep on the girls locker rooms.

With Lumine gone the two of Issei's own friends wouldn't be afraid as they usually would now that she's gone... but that wouldn't stop the girl from chasing after them or beat up the perverted trio.

Especially the kendo club, given they've been the ones often peeped by the trio but that's not what Sona's concern since it was just a common occurrence that wouldn't change... given human nature.

What Sona was more concerned was the fact that the church members sent to Kuoh aka the infamous Light-Keepers of God as they were often known across Europe... is still being stationed in Kuoh.

They were dangerous each one has been noted to stand against an Ultimate and their peerage combine which made them dangerous foes to fight in a battle... that is when there was only one of them.

But against a group of four? They were a nightmare to Sona and Rias, they were ruthless when provoked and based on what she has gathered these were one of their strongest among the Light-Keepers.

Their top elites among elites as she been told from the Intel she had gathered, Charlotte, Edward, Julius and lastly Kiba were each monsters in the battlefield given their reputation for killing devils.

Each were a Harbinger... some new kind of ranking among the Light-Keepers possessing powers blessed by the Seraphs, which was absurd but she was not one to doubt due to their reputation.

An example was Harbinger of the Storm which as it names suggests meant that a Light-Keeper expertise lies in lightning or weather manipulation but that is just a metaphor to what they could truly do.

Several devils, fallens and other factions hostile or have negative relationship with heaven had learned the hard way in underestimating a Harbinger as they thought they knew of their weaknesses.

In hindsight they didn't and they all had either died or crippled beyond repair by any supernatural means given the abilities of the Harbingers were foreign, utterly alien or beyond what they know.

Loki still hasn't recovered from the fact he had been permanently turned into a half-molding being due to fighting one of the other types of Harbinger Light-Keepers stationed in Scandinavia.

Last anyone heard of the trickery Godiss that he had started to grow fungal and all other sorts of bacteria alongside some barks of tree and vines... Loki was becoming some weird mishapened tree.
