"You'd be surprised. Though you seem tense… something wrong?" Ritsuka finally noted how… tight Rias held her arms under her chest.

"My fellow King wants to meet with you as well. She wants to take the chance to recruit you like I tried to when we met. Though I did tell her that you needed to remain human to use your magic." Rias sighed… though the incredulousness of that final statement carried something with it.

"I see. Thanks for the warning. I don't mind being a friend but I'd rather not transform what I am. It's not a question of power or influence or even pettiness. I am really unsure if I would even be able to use my extensive magic without being human. It's really an important sticking point due to the nature of my work." Ritsuka quickly surmised keeping light on details.

"That's what I would like to know about Ritsuka Fujimaru." Rias answered in a heavy tone… one would almost mistake it for Nitocris' authority. The use of his full name caused the smile he wore to falter into contemplation.

"My magic is summoning familiars into my body. All of them have been given the chance to protect the Human Order. So long as I fight for humanity as a human they will remain by my side for the rest of my life." Ritsuka answered. He obfuscated a bit more but tried to make it as clear as possible.

"Human Order? What's that?" Rias instantly caught on to the strangest concept Ritsuka had spoken about. It was then that she noticed the look on Ritsuka. He was actually nervous and averted his gaze letting his eyes wander off to the corners of the room. "Ritsuka, what's Human Order?"

"Uh… that. Yes that… um." Ritsuka stumbled over his words clearly trying to figure out what to say. Rias leveled her stare at Ritsuka finding that small chink in his self created armor he built up so heavily.

"Well?" Rias demanded her foothold in the island fortress that Ritsuka created for himself.

"Okay… so the Human Order is, well think of it like the collective unconsciousness of humanity coalescing into an entity which subtly pushes it into protecting the dominant species of the world into keeping it from extinction level events." Ritsuka started recalling everything he managed to pull out of Holmes when Moriarty had taunted him with his own rendition of the explanation.

"W-what!? Extinction level events!? What!?" Rias slightly started to panic forcing Ritsuka to stand up and rush over to her. With careful precision he cupped her cheeks forcing her to look into his eyes.

"Relax." Ritsuka ordered. Rias slowly calmed her breathing but she still felt that small twinge inside her that told her that this was actually something to panic about.

"Explain please… " Rias stated as Ritsuka nodded holding his hand to his mouth as he seemed to gather his thoughts.

"So… the thing about me is that I was hired by a secret organization of mages and engineers to help protect humanity from extinction level events. I was the forty eighth mage candidate out of the fifty that were recruited to keep humanity from completely collapsing causing the world to end as we know it." Ritsuka answered with a small smile on his face.

Rias critically glared at him… which slowly faltered as she noticed his smile didn't break even as she glared at him.

"So… from what we could tell at a certain point in time humanity would end and the world would collapse. Luckily, after many, many setbacks we managed to stop that kind of end from happening. Unfortunately, that plan was a plan to stop another plan that would have ended humanity all together as well. Managed to stop that too but we are remaining vigilant just in case." Ritsuka remained as vague as possible. Rias could tell as well but she thought that was fine with how unbelievable this story sounded.

The world almost ended… twice in fact. Ritsuka was some kind of savior or at the very least working with a group that did so. Akeno did find out that he was the only one left to actually do something. She didn't know how to process that at all. This was both one of the greatest treasures she could ever have as one of her pseudo Peerage but also held the possibility of being one of the most dangerous beings ever. Even if she was a devil she didn't want anything to happen to humanity.

"So we're fine…" Rias managed to mutter out though it was quiet.

"Yup. As for why I'm in Kuoh is something unrelated to the end of the world scenarios. The artificial holy grail fragment that was found here wouldn't cause that kind of problem here. At most it would maybe cause some weird things to happen or power up someone in a corrupt fashion. Easy enough to take care of." Ritsuka waved it off with that easy smile… as if this was a normal thing in his everyday life.

"I… I see. Ritsuka… are you okay?" Rias frowned as she actually looked at him for the first time. He faltered once more… and that mask he wore broke once more.

"No… but I won't stand down no matter what. I will keep moving forward. I might never win… but I won't lose." Ritsuka frowned as his already light tone got harsher as he spoke that last sentence. His eyes were unfocused… and he clenched a hand against his chest.

Rias felt a small pulse in her chest.

"Maybe we call this for now then, Rias?" Ritsuka replaced the mask once more. He was a bit confused. She hoped he didn't notice her blushing now.

"Yes! Yes… let's go ahead and get ready. Classes start after the weekend." Rias pointed out and power walked out of the room.

Ritsuka held his head in his hands completely realizing that the same charismatic ability he somehow had whenever he talked with servants was now having a very adverse effect on regular people… regardless of race.
