Ginjo's eyes flutter after awakening from what he felt was a deep sleep. After a few seconds, his eyes shot wide open as he inhaled a deep breath, followed by his head shooting up from his pillow.
Breathing steadily, Ginjo clutched onto his head and rubbed it as he tried to calm himself down. Succeeding, he then takes notice of where he is, which shocked him as soon as he found out.
Ginjo found himself back at home in his bedroom, sitting up on his bed.
"What the hell..?" Ginjo began flabbergasted. "Wasn't I stabbed by that guy with the feathered wings..? I know what happened yesterday wasn't a dream."
Ginjo puzzled about this for five seconds before remembering another thing that made him widen his eyes.
"I will fulfill your request. However, it will come at a price."
Ginjo then makes a look of realization.
"That's right, I recall accepting the offer of becoming Gremory-senpai's 'Devil Servant' in return for saving Ise-nii and me. But… What exactly did she mean by that? I knew she could do crazy magic stuff as she did with that circle, but…"
Ginjo puzzled and puzzled on the meaning of being a Devil Servant. At first, she thought she would make them do things that would make them metaphoric Devils, or maybe it's some crazy larping activity that involves occult-related stuff.
Ginjo shook his head, having a hard time thinking about what she meant.
"*Sigh*. She did say that she'd be specific on the matter after she 'reincarnated' us." Ginjo places a hand on his chin. "But exactly when?"
Ginjo's thoughts then went to his friend, Koneko. A sad expression appeared on his face.
"And what about Koneko-san? From what I can remember, she pleaded for my life to Gremory-senpai."
Ginjo was happy that Koneko cared for him that much as a friend, but it still left him concerned about her, knowing that she's heard his conversation with Rias about his 'price'.
Ginjo then notices the time on his clock from the corner of his eye. Sighing, he decides to put his thoughts on last night in the back burner, not wanting to be late for school.
As he removes the sheets off of him, Ginjo noticed that he was wearing nothing but his red boxer shorts. Sure, he prefers to sleep in his boxer shorts, but the fact that he woke up in them after what happened last night made him have more questions in his mind.
While he looked down at himself as he got into a sitting position on the edge of his bed, he becomes surprised when he looked at his right side of his torso, the spot where he got cut while saving Koneko from the man with feathered wings.
"Whoa… I at least expected some bandages or a scar, but… It looks as if I never got hurt!"
When he stood up from the bed, he looked on with amusement as he rubbed the area where his cut got healed.
"Could it be the magic healing I mentioned to Gremory-senpai earlier?"
Ginjo looked at his right side for a few more seconds before deciding to save that question for later and find his Kuoh Academy uniform. As he lifted his head up, Ginjo saw that his uniform was folded nicely on his desk. Next to his clothes, he also found a white envelope that was also propped next to his clothes, confusing the young man.
Ginjo quickly got his uniform on and went to grab the envelope from his desk. Before he could pick it up, Ginjo suddenly felt weaker as he felt a ray of sunshine shine upon him from his window.
As the sun shined on him, he started feeling more and more tired. Why he was as soon as he felt its light shine on him? He didn't know. It just… happened.
Wanting to make sure he's fine, Ginjo placed his hands in front of him, palms facing each other, and started flexing his fingers back and forth. As he was doing so, he suddenly noticed a blue light appear in between his palms.
After three more seconds of looking, his eyes widened when the light turned into a small light blue ball, a ball that was about the size of a marble.
"What the hell..?"
Ginjo had no idea how he did that. All he did was flex his hands and finger, only for him to end up conjuring this blue ball of what appeared to be light.
Curious, Ginjo decided to focus his stare on the ball while keeping his palms in between the blue ball. Upon further inspection, he saw a pattern of white lines circling inside the blue ball, surprising him further.
Ginjo then wanted to test something. He focuses all of his concentration on the blue ball of light while keeping his palms in between it, flexing his fingers forward near the object. As he did so, his eyes widened again when the ball has grown bigger. The ball of light was now the size of a golf ball.
