Chapter 892 Devil-Magician Pact
Half an hour later, Kisuke, Issei, and Vali returned without much change in their demeanor. Rias, however, noted sweat on Issei's forehead and thought, 'Were they doing some physical activities?'
Rias secretly called one of the servants that are closely stationed in the room they used and asked if there was anything noteworthy that happened. As the servant answered that he only heard silence, a few questions popped into Rias' head but she didn't think about it any further, 'If it was something important, he'll talk about it with me.'
The three of them then joined the lively discussion and no one asked them what they talked about.
As soon as Kisuke sat down, however, Le Fay excitedly raised her voice to him, "Kisuke-sama! Instead of bringing Riveria-sama to Grauzauberer, please let me bring her to Golden Dawn instead!"
"The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn?" Kisuke thought about it for a moment, "Isn't that the famous but relatively new Magician Organization?"
"Yes! It's the organization where I came from!" Le Fay answered with shining eyes, "From the discussion just now, I figured that Riveria-sama's main interest in Magic lies in the modern subject and I can safely assure you that we won't be behind any other organization in terms of our study and advancement in that field!"
"But it was already arranged for her to attend Grauzauberer. She even has Serafall's endorsement."
"That may be the case, but please consider it. While Grauzauberer is indeed a great one with a long history, their main subject is occult. It's a great subject but interest is as important as aptitude, and maybe even more in some cases."
Kisuke went silent and looked at Riveria. Riveria, on the other hand, could only shake her head since she didn't really know anything and could only follow his opinion on this matter.
"And if it's Serafall-sama's endorsement, it'll work as intended in the Golden Dawn! As a matter of fact, they invited me over to become a mentor and if you'll allow this, I could become her exclusive mentor! No offense intended to the great Devil, but I doubt Mephisto-sama could give the attention you wanted from him. He's a busy man, after all."
Vali nodded as he added to her sales pitch, "I also can assure you that she can be a better mentor than even Mephisto Pheles' right hand, Laviana Reni. She's a genius for a reason."
"The Ice Princess, huh..." Kisuke muttered. But while what they were saying was reasonable and even enticing for someone in Riveria's situation, he couldn't understand their insistence and instead asked, "What's in it for you?"
Le Fay's cheerful expression immediately changed into a serious one and bowed down, "Please sign a Devil-Magician Pact with me, Kisuke-sama!"
"No one else, even my closest friends and family." Le Fay gave an answer that widened Vali and Arthur's eyes.
"But why give it to me?"
"To show you that I can offer you something in this pact."
'You just gave me an offer that I'm not allowed to refuse.' He wanted to say it out loud, but he was concerned about how the others would react and he wanted to downplay the situation even a little bit.
The book he received contained a certain Teleportation Spell. But it wasn't the normal transposition Magic that uses and locks into coordinates to transfer. Instead, it's used to target a consciousness or mind, which is much more abstract than souls, to make a successful transfer.
To explain how it was any different from normal Teleportation Magic, one has to first know about the ways to prevent the Magic from being cast in the first place which is largely divided into two categories, Space Lock and Space Misinformation.
The first one, Space Lock, was easier to use since it's basically just reinforcing the information of space through a barrier so that no changes could be allowed to it, making a transfer essentially impossible. However, as easy as it was to set up, it only needed brute force to break through, so it was only used to lock down a certain area temporarily.
To permanently secure a location from transfers, the second category is used in tandem with the Space Lock. From the name itself, Space Misinformation hides the area through a barrier that causes chaos in space. If there's an attempt to teleport into that protected space without resolving and calculating the correct values needed to teleport, the teleport could find him or herself stuck somewhere unknown, or worse, the Dimensional Gap where most living beings could only survive for a few seconds before they forcefully decay and get subsumed.
Even Kisuke's Mars Base was secured through a Space Misinformation by placing the entire place in the realm between the real world and Dimensional Gap which is small, but also infinite. As a result of this, anyone could only teleport in and out of it through a previous place 'incomplete solution' and that's the teleportation platform in it.
To complete the solution, the other half of it was embedded in his own soul's right arm which he used to take away Lilith's coffin. If his arm were to be severed or he becomes unconscious, the key will rearrange into something unintelligible.
However, Le Fay's Teleportation Magic bypasses that misinformation entirely and as long as someone's consciousness was marked by this Magic, the user could easily teleport to the target's side.
While the book is missing the crucial parts and it's obvious to Kisuke that Le Fay is still refining the Magic, if completed and learned, it's quite possible that most if not all barriers that could trap him or her would become ineffective as long as someone marked is outside of it.
'I can't refuse this because of the risk of someone else getting ahold of this ridiculous Magic. Not until I could devise a countermeasure against it.' Kisuke looked at her again, who was patiently anticipating a positive response, and thought, 'Nope... She doesn't understand the full potential and dangers of this Magic since she readily showed this to me without any signs of working on a counterspell.'
