Chapter 21: A Challenge for a Sword

A/N: Sorry I'm late

*

Jun's plan was quite simple. Send Huginn and Muninn into all of those very secure facilities and collect however much he can before the owners realize what's happening and deploy measures to stop him.

With the speed of Travel through the Imaginary Number Space, they would be able to hit locations all over the world in a single day.

But Jun was aware this would probably only work once, as no one he was planning to rob was stupid and sure to come up with ways to detect and or destroy his familiars.

By now though, Jun had spent countless hours of his time and a serious amount of whatever resources he could gather into them so he would hate to lose them. As such, this would be a one time deal, a single Heist for the Ages.

At least until he could upgrade the raven to pass through the upgraded defenses . . .

First though, surveillance was necessary and Jun had the ravens fly around stealth to determine the most valuable targets and the time they were the least guarded, simply to ensure to highest possible probability of success.

During this time, two partitions of Jun's mind were constantly monitoring the two ravens through the familiar connections, two others were doing magecraft research with the Akashic Records and the last one was controlling Jun's body to go about his daily routine of training, sparring with Valia, etc.

Two days after his talk with Azazel, Jun got another visit. The subordinate of Azazel that had a nice artifact that may catch Jun's interest that he had spoken of. He came to him when he was in the Nephilim Institute, making use of its training facilities.

"You must be Haikami Jun, Azazel's new toy." The man spoke. He was tall, had brown hair, silver eyes, and masculine facial features and was wearing the standard fallen angel battle uniform.

"Although I would not say toy . . Yes I'm the current object of his interest." Jun replied in stride.

The man smiled with interest at the response.

"I'm Satanael, one of Grigori's Cadres." The man introduced himself.

"Ah! Might you be the one Azazel said might have something on interest to me?" Jun inquired.

"The demonic sword, Arondight. Does it meet your standards?" Satanael asked.

"Naturally, but I supposed you didn't come here just to hand it over." Jun responded.

"But of course. Such a fine sword deserves and equally worthy wielder. Wouldn't you say?" Satanael said.

"I guess so. And?" Jun bade him to continue.

"A little test is you will, with some stakes to make it interesting." Satanael suggested.

"I'm listening." Jun replied.

"My class is full of talented children like you you see . . . And they would like to test their might against yours." Satanael started.

"What are the conditions?" Jun asked.

"A fight against my six top students. You wind, Arondight is yours, you lose, you become a member of my class and my subordinate." Satanael suggested

"I'll take your deal but I'd like to have a just about a month to finish up some things I'm working on and prepare." Jun said.

"Hmm . . ." Satanael pondered.

"I suppose that's fine." He replied and they both shook on the deal.

Leaving Nephilim and returning to his room, Jun temporarily delayed the heist to focus on the challenge right ahead of him.

Jun had yet to get fully used to his new abilities and he knew, that with a bit of training, his newly enhanced base stats and talent would allow him to have a leap in progress. With a sparring partner like Valia on hand, his martial skills were sure to improve as well.

One month, that was the timeframe his mental computer calculated would be enough to fully adapt to his new stats and apply them to his current skills and magecraft, making them grow one step further.

The month of gruelling training flew by and Jun was currently looking at his updated status sheet, knowing he was about to thrash the future Abyss Team like they have never been thrashed before.

It was a beautiful sight to see.

The addition of a very willing and capable sparring partner led to the improvement of Jun's martial art skills and the second integration of the Factor of the Dragon brough about a change of improvements that brought Jun to a whole other level.

His Dragon's Breath led to and improvement of his Breathing and Walking Skill that led to the manifestation of a powerful movement technique among other things.

His improved Dragon's Wisdom not only allowed Jun to once again take a large step forward with his mental magecraft but the understanding on magical languages it provided also made his Rune Magecraft progress significantly.

Finally, Jun's various modifications and improvements on his familiars made with Imaginary Numbers Magecraft as a base led to improvements in that area as well.

Even though Jun currently lacked a weapon that would allow him to maximize his power, his own body was quite the deadly weapon in and of itself so he was not worried about taking on Satanael's prized students. Specially since this is at least two years before they became the feared Abyss Team.

Jun met Satanael and his students in a specially wide Battle Room, with Azazel mediating and Valia watching with glittering eyes, full of excitement.

After all, if there was no one person in the entirely of Grigori that knew of Jun's progress it was her. She was was the one receiving all of his new moves first hand and got to experience the rapid growth of his combat ability.

She was delighted to have such a strong opponent the same age as her. It motivated her to be stronger and her prowess also increasing by sharpening her skills against Jun's onslaught.

Due to Jun's massive computing power, he got Valia's fighting style and abilities down ever since their first clash and he could always target her weaknesses and opening with unerring accuracy which forced Valia to adapt at a high speed and fix them, which in turn sped up her personal growth as well.

Now thought, she had a firs class seat, watching someone else suffer a royal beating and she was sure Jun would not be taking the methodical approached he used with her since he was also trying to help her.

Against these guys, Valia knew he was going for the kill and only the safety devices in the battle rooms would save them from such a fate.

'The only thing these fools will learn is how immeasurable the difference between them and Ju-san is.' Valia thought with anticipation.
