My Journey: The Reason Why I Will Live

…..

Everyone was back in the academy..

Varakiel: Well , go to your rooms, I'll see you tomorrow.

Varakiel then walks back home.

Everyone notices that the surrounding area looks like a waste land and the nearby trees are gone.

Rias: w-what happened here?

Grayfia:....is varakiel-sama doing, he got very angry after learning about your whereabouts and the mention of the engagement party…i am surprised myself, for a human to be equally in power with sirzechs-sama…rias-sama you have a powerful guardian try to learn a lot from him.

Rias: e-eh yes of course! Thank you grayfia, and please tell onii-sama and father that i am sorry but i don't want to marry yet…not until i have graduated.

Grayfia: is that so?....very well, have a good night rias-sama.

Grayfia then teleports back to the underworld…

Akeno: So this is his doing? Varakiel-san really loves us to be this angry~.

Sona: But to fix this…it will take at least a day or 2.

Tsubaki: I'll inform the principal to fix the damages of his…prank.

Rias: father…you idiot.

Koneko: But still…sensei is so strong.

Yuuto: Indeed, koneko, we have to learn all we can from sensei.

Koneko: of course!

Rias: right.

Sona: We should ask him for training too?

Rias: He told me he's still thinking of a way to train us yet.

Tsubaki: And he's not done yet? What kind of training are we getting…

Sona: I wonder too….

Meanwhile in the underworld….

Zeoticus: And that's all I know from him.

Zeoticus was chatting with the leader of the phoenix house in the party hall.

Phoenix: I see, to think such human exist I wonder if those are his true intentions…

Zeoticus: I can assure you they are, I have been observing him closely, he doesn't greed for fame or fortune, nor for my daughter. He really wants to teach others properly, it is just the proficiency of my daughter that attracted his attention.

Phoenix: I see lord gremory you have found yourself a powerful ally…

Zeoticus: nothing like that unless my daughter asks for his help he won't meddle in our matters, and he holds in the same steem the daughter of the sitri house.

Phoenix: Is that so?...looks like we both had too much greed. Both of us already have pure devil children. Our greed as devils made us crave for more.

Zeoticus: *sigh* I also forced my greed onto my daughter.

Phoenix: varakiel fateburn…was it? I wonder if I should enroll my daughter in your academy as well, haha.

Zeoticus: As long as she doesn't mention anything about today I guess she can get along with him, he's actually a very kind and patient fellow even riser could have gotten along with him if it wasn't because of his ego.

Phoenix: *sigh* Well today riser experienced a total crush and I hope he understands that his phoenix blood isn't almighty.

Zeoticus: mhm, after all out there, there's someone always stronger than us….

…..

Phoenix: haha, since when have you become so philosophical zeoticus?

Zeoticus: haha, these words were said by varakiel, and i couldn't agree more…

Phoenix: the infinite dragon, great red, the beast….

Zeoticus: mhm, those monsters are still out there i just hope no one disturbs them and get us all killed…

…

Varakiel: *achis* uh? Is someone talking about me?

Asia: are you getting sick mr varakiel, would you like some soup?

Varakiel:....sure, i am sure asia can cook very well 

Asia: yes, b-but i am not as good as you yet..

Varakiel: hehe, but you learn fast asia, trust me you will reach my level in 10 years or so.

Asia: oh! T-then i'll be in your care mr varakiel!

Ophis: varakiel are you…sick?

Varakiel: don't worry i am okay ophis-chan.

Varakiel smiles at her 

Ophis:...ok (happy)

Ophis smiles back slightly.

Varakiel: hehe, you're so cute ophis i never want to let you go!

Varakiel then hugs her.

Ophis:....me…too(I Don't want silence anymore…I don't want to go back there…. I don't want to be….alone.)

Deep in ophis a light shines brightly and balances with her darkness in harmony.

Varakiel: Then let's stay together forever with Asia too, okay?

Ophis:....okay. (Asia…she like varakiel is a human, she is..weak…but i don't want her to go too…i want to…. protect them…) Varakiel…i want to give you something.

Varakiel: oh! a gift from ophis!? Since when did you learn to give gifts!? What is it?

Ophis suddenly makes a snake appear from his hand.

Ophis: I want you to wield my power….

Varakiel:...hehe.

Varakiel pats her head.

Varakiel: ophis, i am glad that you want to give me something like that, i gladly accept it, as a thanks…. let's stay together for eternity alright?

Varakiel then touches the snake of ophis and it infuses on his body.

Ophis:....okay…i don't want to be alone, I don't want silence anymore, i don't want to go back….

Varakiel: hehe, don't worry ophis, just like you want to protect me I'll protect you.

Ophis: ¿? I am the dragon of infinity. I don't need anyone's protection.

Varakiel: oh? I didn't knew you were that arrogant ophis-chan (she really as opened completely to me…ophis i promise you that I'll never let you go)

In varakiel body the snake as a unexpected change instead of giving power…it has become part of varakiel.

Lily: (varakiel this is unexpected)

Varakiel: (what is it?)

Lily: (it seems your desire to love and protect has warped the original purpose of the power of ouroboros,instead of protecting you it wants to protect her as well, her power has become part of you…in summary you have gained a new element to control ...chaos!)

Varakiel: (r-really!? T-this is awesome! Now with this I can progress in the research to regulate chaos!) Ophis, your gift really makes me happy, thank you.

Varakiel this time hugs ophis with kindness and warmth.

Ophis:....(warm and kindness….he's happy, i made him happy…hehe.)

Ophis makes a small giggle.

Varakiel: (she actually laughed, this day is one to celebrate!!!) Alright ophis, what do you want to eat today, you can ask anything!

….

Ophis: asia…I want to give you something…

Ophis then takes a snake of the same size of varakiel.

Asia: ehhh!? What is this? Mr. Varakiel what is happening!?

Varakiel: *cof* I am sorry i didn't tell you before asia, let me explain it to you.

…..

Asia: eh!? S-she is ouroboros? 

Varakiel: Mhm, I am sorry I didn't tell you before, I just didn't want you to be scared of her,but the things I told you before really happened.

Asia: t-they did?

Ophis:¿? What things?

Varakiel: is nothing ophis is only the things i told asia when you came home before her.

Ophis: okay.

Asia:....ophis-chan, why do you want to give me this?

Ophis:....i want to protect asia, you're a human …you're weak, but i don't want you to get hurt,

So I want Asia to have my power so she can be safe.

Asia: ophis ....(lord forgive me, but this child kindness is legitimate…) thank you, i also want to protect ophis…

Asia then takes the snake on her body….

Varakiel: hehe, thank you for accepting her asia.

Asia: ophis is still ophis no matter who she is, let's keep learning together okay ophis-chan?

Ophis: okay, asia.

Late at night in the bedroom of varakiel.

Varakiel was on his desk writing.

Varakiel: (lily what other benefits have i gained)

Lily: ( your magic power capacity is increasing exponentially, your MP will increase passively thanks to the nature of ouroboros, that is, your magic power right now is eating itself to improve.)

Varakiel: (i see these are great news, that means i can do a lot of things, ha, ha , hahahahahah, ophis thank you, i promise i will give you an eternity full of friends, love and joy!!!) That means that my original plan can be changed.

Lily: (varakiel the system as made an announcement, right now the world registers that great red is the strongest being on this world, the beast due to his seals isn't recognize by it at this moment, so if you want to complete this world defeat great red, the system believes with this new power you can achieve it)

Varakiel: (of course) hehe, i didn't expect this improvement this soon, 

Undine then appears beside varakiel

Undine: impressive varakiel yet again you grow stronger….i couldn't be more happy.

undine leans her tail onto varakiel lap as she sits besides him.

Undine: remember to give that child a huge reward for this power.

Varakiel: Of course, and thank you for always taking care of them undine.

Undine: taking care of 2 peaceful children isn't that hard…..as long you tell me how to cook of course.

Varakiel: Mhm, your cooking skills are improving as much as asia. Soon enough you can cook for yourself as much as you want.

undine: hmmm? you mean you won't cook for me anymore? should i give up on it then….

Varakiel:...

Undine: I am just joking, I know you would never do that, after all you love me as much as the others.

Varakiel: heheh, the others...how are alice, luka and ruka doing?

Undine: so far so good they say they will come soon.

Varakiel: uh? really?....hm...i think i should remodel the house, the rooms won't be enough….

Undine: that's true…
