Touji POV
" So then Sho-kun, why did you come here?" He asked as he gave a calming smile to the boy.
" I-I t…." Sho paused as he took a deep breath, calming himself. " I think I-I am c-cursed."
He raised his brow at the boy's words, as he hesitantly spoke them.
'It must be prank. His friends must be nearby.' Touji shucked to himself as he remembered his daughter, as she and her friend once tried a similar prank on him.
" And how may that be?" He decided to play along the child's ploy, encouraging Sho to go on.
" S-Swords have b-been following me."
"Is that so? Could you elaborate on that? He looked at the boy nodding his head, as Sho extended his hand to show something.
Just then Touji felt something he was all to familiar with, as someone from the church he couldn't forget this feeling.
Holy aura seemed to be radiating from the child palm, as something started to take form.
A sword emerged from the palm of boy's hand, its shine and presence seemed to demand Touji's attention.
A Holy Sword.
'But how?' He shifted his attention from the Holy sword to the boy, who seemed to be sweating as he hesitantly looked into Touji eyes.
Several questions rang through Touji's mind.
What was this holy sword? Which was it? Was it sealed in the boy? If so by whom?
Was this a plot from that Devil? No, a devil wouldn't let a sword like it slip from their ha-
"Is something wrong, Shidou-san?" The child asked, clearly afraid by his silence.
" It's nothing, I was just a bit shocked." Touji patted the boy, as he calmed himself down.
Seeing a Holy Sword suddenly manifesting infront of him caught him by surprised.
'No it didn't manifest, it's closer to say that it was formed.' Touji thought to himself, as he had an idea of what it could be.
Blade Blacksmith, also known as Holy Sword Creation. A sacred gear that allowed one to create numerous Holy Swords of differing attributes.
A gift from the lord.
"Have you shown this to anyone?" He saw the child nod his head, he just hoped none of them had any tea to that Devil.
"Well I haven't shown it to anyone one exactly, though I did ask my parents." Touji released a sigh of relief.
"S-so am I c-cursed?" Touji chuckled at that, if the boy was cursed then he couldn't understand what blessed meant.
"No." He assured the boy as he gave a gentle smile, like the one he gave to his daughter. " Infact it is quite the opposite. You are quite blessed, not cursed."
"This sword is the proof of that." Touji took the sword in his hand, the sword felt similar to his own albeit a bit weaker. " It is the gift from the lord, to the chosen few."

Third POV
Sho looked at the figure of Touji as he distanced himself, talking to someone on the phone.
Fortunately for him, everything went smoothly. Though the look Touji gave when he manifested the sword was scary to say the least.
He turned his attention towards the sword in his hand, a by product of his sacred gear.
The Sacred Gears being God's artifacts, items with powerful abilities that are bestowed upon humans by God.
And his particular one being Blade Blacksmith, a Sacred Gear which allows him to create any kind of holy sword he desired.
If he remembered correctly, one of Mc's friends had a similar Sacred Gear. Though he couldn't exactly remember who.
'Basically Walmart UBW.' Sho chuckled as he thought of the King of Fakers. ' Well, something is better than nothing.'
He could see the call had ended and Touji was returning near him.
"So what will happen to me?" He asked the priest, truthfully it wouldn't matter if he couldn't join the church just their protection and promise would be more than enough.
"Well that depends on you?"
"Me?" He saw the priest nod his head, as he knelt infront of him once again.
"Sho-kun, would you like to follow the church and go the the Vatican?" That shocked him quite a bit, he had expected joining the church would mean he would be under Touji's wing.
But go to the Vatican…..
"Normally I would leave this kind of decision solely to the parents but you seem like different than most your age." Sho could feel the priest hand on his head, as he spoke.
"Sho-kun, would you like to join us? Would you like to become an exorcist?" Sho paused as he looked at the priest, offering him to become a part of the church.
Sho took a deep breath, calming himself. His knowledge about the exorcist weren't great, they were either stray or religious zealots.
"What does a Exorcist represent?"
"Well exorcist are the members of church responsible for protecting the masses from supernatural creatures that seek to harm them." Touji calmly explained about the term Exorcist and their duty.
" We also are responsible for keeping the knowledge of supernatural world a secret in cases where the other species messes things up."
"So basically a peace keeping force?" Touji raised his brows, before nodding his head.
"You could call us that. Though there are such organisations from all the religions in their native region."
"So there are similar people to exorcist from Shinto?"
"Yes there are, there are as many groups as exorcist as there are religions." Touji didn't bother lying to the boy. He knew if Sho decided to become an exorcist this topic is one of the starting things to learn, so lying to him would only distort his view of church.
"But most of them don't appreciate the Lords gift, the sacred gears." Touji recalled the information he himself was taught and he had seen. "Take this country as an example, Japan has a structure of "Exorcist" based around 5 clans, and of them dislike the sacred gear or anything related to other religions."
"So they won't accept those like me?" Sho asked, to which Touji shook his dead.
"No, they won't. The fate of Sacred Gear users in this world are fickle at best, most religions either dislike them or remove them."
"With the church being one of the few places one can truly grow despite being a Sacred Gear user, it also helps as unlike others church is primarily composed of Humans so there are no prejudices against humans with Sacred gear."
Sho took in everything Touji said, most of which may seem biased. But to him who had read about the world to a certain extent, most of the information was correct.
Religious zealots wouldn't like the thought of something from another religion. Whereas for most factions there was bound to be discrimination against the humans.
Sho looked at the priest, who hadn't bothered to simply lie to him when he could have.
"Shidou-san, I would like to join the church and become an Exorcist."
