DXD: A Church Exorcist

Sitting in the back of the classroom filled with kids that are between 10-11 years old, near the opened window looking at the outside with breeze of winds coming from it is a blond hair green eyed kid, who didn't seem to like the fact he is here. And on his right, is Samuel looking at his notebook filled with runic combinations and words, some scrapped, some marked and others circled.

After finishing writing what he has to write, he looked up from his notebook and closed it just in time for the teacher to enter.

Said teacher is middle aged women in a sister attire with a cross hanging on her neck and her hair, just like all other nuns, is hidden by her headscarf.

" Hello everyone, I'm sister Sophia Miyacova and i'll be your teacher for the magic theory, you can either call me by sister Sophia or teacher, but before that. Let me introduce you to a new student who will be attending the training program with you.

" Saying this, one of the students stood up. He looked aroumd the same age as us, with golden hair and green eyes and a relaxed posture.

"Nice to meet you all, my name is Dulio Gesuald, i will be with you all for the next 4 years, let's get along" after which he sat back.

"Dulio here is the weilder of Zenith Tempest, the second strongest sacred gear, so he will be a great help in demonstration of how elemental manipulation and how powerful sacred gears are"

Hearing this, all of us were still stunned looking at him, me included. Then there was an eruption of greetings, screams of excitement, questions until the teacher hit the table to make us quiet down.

"Sit down sit down, you can all discuss about this later. Now let's start with the presence before beginning with the lesson" saying that, she began taking presence before starting the lesson, which was pretty disappointing all things considered.

I think I may have been too advanced for this class, but it's the best thing I had to choose.

For the exorcist training system, all trainnes have 3 mandatory classes: physical training, combat training and holy scriptures. for the other 2 subjects, they are given to the student himself to choose from marksmanship, magic theory, swordmanship, archery and general weapon mastery.

I choose magic theory and swordmanship, since for ranged combat I will mainly focus on magic, as for the sword, I choose it because its the main thing I have been training with and there are a shit ton of strong swords out there compared to any other type of weapon, maybe I will pick spearmanship later, if i see that magical theory class is useless.

So my schedule is: Magical theory first, then sword training, physical training, an hour break then holy scriptures and finally combat training.

After a boring class, in which she introduced the concept of magic, what a mana core, etc. .

. We were out for a 10 min break before heading to the next class, swordmanship training in which Dulio was swarmed by a group of excited kids while I decided to just head to the next lesson.

While his presence here is great opportunity for me to have a decent sparring partner and friend in the future, that will be for later when things finally quiet down.

Arriving at the traning ground with the kids, we found there waiting for us was a middle aged man with black hair and wearing black church vestments. All in all he looked like a mob boss.

Just give him a black fedora, a cigar and a long black coat and boom: We have ourselves an Al Capone after his holy church update.

" My name is Ewald Cristaldi, I shall be your sword for the duration of the next 4 years. I would like to first state that this will not be easy" he fixed us with a slight glare to emphasise his point

" You are all training to become protectors of humanity against the dark forces that prowl this world. As such, the Devils will not be your only enemies; there will be many more such as the Vampires, Youkai, Fallen angels and many others.

It is not an exaggeration when I say that a lot of you will die. Knowing this, will you continue to persist?"

The students looked a bit uneasy at this point but stayed regardless, earning a nod of approval from Ewald.

"Very well. Then I shall teach you how to combat evil with the sword" He picked up one of the wooden swords that laid on the ground before continuing his speech.

"During my sessions the sword shall be your main focus. I shall hammer everything I know into the lot of you.

It will be harsh, it will be painful and it will be tiring, but that is what you signed up for. As such, I do not want to see complaints of my teaching methods, is that understood?" he fixed us with another glare, earning multiple nods.

All students moved towards the pile of wooden swords and took their weapon. I took one too and swung it around with familiarity born from 4 years of using it.

This swords are bit too light if I was being honest, which made me think, are Light swords heavy? For that matter, does Light even weight anything? Questions for later.

"Does everyone have a weapon?" he received a chorus of nods before continuing

"Good. Now, I'm going to show all of you a couple of stances and see what I'm working with.

Choose any one of the stances you feel the most comfortable in". He began to get into a couple of stances, holding the sword in either both hands or switching to a single hand.

Looking at the stances he made I choose the one that seemed to be closer to the one I'm using, taking the sword with 2 hands, and started swinging it as he did. Ewald came over to check our stances one by one, correcting them as he went along by smacking them into place with his sword.
