Moving outside and putting up a barrier, Xenovia and Kiba stood opposite from each other, Xenovia taking off her white cloak and unwrapping her weapon
"This is Excalibur destruction, it focuses on destructive might" she said, driving it into the ground beside her and creating a small indent "if you wish to know whather you have the ability to destroy the pieces of Excalibur, this one is the one that would be hardest to destroy"
"Good to know" Kiba replied, swords bursting out of the ground around him "since you have told me about your ability I will tell you about mine, I posses sword birth and have the ability to create demonic swords" he said gnashing his teeth "the perfect ability to get revenge on the church for" he roared, grabbing 2 blades from the ground and pouncing at Xenovia
"Go Kiba, do your best" cheered Herm inside Blaze's mind
"I thought you would be cheering for Xenovia honestly" thought Blaze
"Normally I would" answered Herm "but the longer the fight goes on for the longer I get to oogle Xenovia in that sexy church leotard, do you think she has some spares, I think wearing something like that would not only look great on the other occult research club members but also I think it would suit your fighting style as well"
"I'm good with what I usually wear" replied Blaze, not commenting on the others wearing the suits as she would be forced to agree with Herm if she did as the battle raged on
"Your skills are impressive, you have good control over your body" commented Xenovia, Blaze noting that the battle was lasting longer than it did in the novels or the anime
"I have a good master and was taught well during our training to win a rating game recently" Kiba laughed "and as such I should have the power to destroy that sword of yours" he cried as he combined the 2 swords in his hands to create a giant blade and slammed it down, creating a large crater in the ground
"That power would indeed be enough to destroy my Excalibur" Xenovia's voice called out from the dust "but it would need to hit my blade in order for that to happen" she said coming out from the dust, only having a few cuts and grazes from the stones that had flown out from the blast, her weapon nowhere to be seen and driving her into Kiba's stomach "and with you being stuck in place like that I don't need Excalibur to beat you, only it's holy aura is enough"
"Impressive" praised Herm "she dropped her blade so as not to be hampered by its weight but kept a link to it allowing her to use it's holy aura to make her fist strikes more effective against devils"
"I was told by father Strada that I relied on my weapons to much and so have followed him in developing a way to fight that doesn't rely on them as much" Xenovia claimed as Kiba dropped to his knees "an opponent who moves quickly is difficult to deal with but if I can seal their movements a heavy weapon like Excalibur destruction only needs a single strike to finish things off" she informed Kiba as he glared at her "this battle is over you lost" she said, the Excalibur that she had thrown in the air coming back down next to Kiba within her reach, making it easy for her to kill Kiba if she wished to
"Do you need healing" Asia asked Xenovia as she already started healing Kiba
"I suppose I should" Xenovia said looking at the small wounds she had sustained "even injuries such as these could end up hindering me in future battles"
"With that settled do you have anymore buisness to attend to" asked Rias
"We do not require anymore help from you devils" Xenovia answered
"Although if you know a place we could stay it would be helpful" chimed in Irina "we may have run out of funds during our trip here" she blushed
"Thanks to you buying that obviously fake portrait" muttured Xenovia
"IT'S NOT A FAKE" cried Irina "the seller said it was a saint and I felt like I could feel a holy aura from it"
"You mean the same type of aura you felt in the supermarket when a single light turned on over a bunch of banana's and you thought that it must be a sign from god and brought them as well" Xenovia laughed
"YOU PROMISED YOU WOULD NEVER BRING THAT BACK UP" Irina cried again
"If you could help us we would all be very grateful" Asia said, Xenovia and Irina squabling in the background
"Well, Rias if you are ok with moving back into the dorms for a few days my place would probably be the best option" suggested Blaze "it would allow me to act as a liason between the 2 groups without the church group having to rely on devils"
"What do you mean?" asked Xenovia, stopping her squable with Irina for a second to ask Blaze "I can feel a demonic aura from you, are you trying to say you're not a devil?"
"My situation is a bit more complicated, see" Blaze answered, allowing her aura to flow freely to show that she also had holy aura as well
"How is this possible?" asked Asia in shock, the Irina and Xenovia being equally shocked
"Let's keep that a secret for now and just say that this shows I'm not your enemy, so what's your answer?" Blaze commented
"Thank you for your hospitallity then" bowed Asia, the other 2 agreeing and continuing their squable in the background
"Are you sure you'll be ok without your training payments for a few days" asked Rias with a mischevious smile as Asia tried to stop Xenovia and Irina's squable
"I'll be fine" answered Blaze with a subdued blush
"If that's your choice I will respect it" said Rias "but you need to be prepared, I won't be able to sleep as well for the next few days without my favourite hug pillow and the nice feeling that I get from it so I might need to have a few naps during school that I would like you to join me for" a teasing tone evident in her voice as she walked off leaving Blaze dumbstruck and Asia panicking as she tried to calm down Irina and Xenovia kept bringing up their embarrassing past to each other, the whole thing nearly devolving into a brawl as Rias's peerage followed he inside Kiba looking especially annoyed at the fact that he wasn't able to do anything against Excalibur even when given the chance.
