"I understand. Don't panic. Look… just be careful of all her advice. I'm certain a bit of it will be… perverted. Okay, most of it will be perverted." Ritsuka admitted at the end rubbing his face with his hand.

"Oh…" Asia answered.

'I better not tell him she told me all about where babies come from. Hopefully Akeno-senpai won't beat me to it.' Asia quietly thought as she hid her reaction through blushing. While she was naive most of the time, Aika told her that she needed to be crafty when it came to claiming a position in Ritsuka-sama's heart.

Ritsuka didn't know why but a shiver went down his spine. Shaking his head slightly to break the tension, the two entered the abandoned building for the ORC and the group teleported back to the field for more training.

Akeno took Kiba and Koneko away for flight training and dodging obstacles. Speed seemed to be their goal for the day. Rias and Asia remained next to Ritsuka who seemed to be gazing at Asia. Rias sat down on one of the logs that Ritsuka had cut apart the previous day and waited to see what would happen next.

"So… do you actually want to fight?" Ritsuka threw out the million dollar question to Asia.

"Huh? Aren't I supposed to fight?" Asia looked to Rias who didn't actually answer and then stared innocently up at Ritsuka. "Aren't I?"

"Not necessarily. Asia, you are a healer. If you didn't want to fight then I could at least help you increase your healing prowess. If you say yes then… well I'll be training you in combat." Ritsuka advised the young former nun. Asia bit her thumb lightly in thought.

"I… I wish to fight as well. I don't want to hurt anyone… but I don't want to be a burden." Asia admitted as she held her hands together squeezing them quite tightly that the blood rushed to her fingers.

"Okay… Hm, well let's go with something a bit surprising from me." Ritsuka started.

"Again!?" Rias shouted in shock since she was getting a bit overwhelmed by the surprises.

"Heh… yeah. So while I'm not the most religious person, I do read from time to time. And in my time reading something like the Bible… one particular passage stood out to me, ya know." Ritsuka started… and waited to make sure his talk wouldn't hurt either of the devils. He had found out from all the times that Asia tried to thank god that it would give her a headache. Neither looked uncomfortable but both looked a bit curious.

"A passage? Which one?" Asia continued which Rias seemed interested in.

"Genesis 32:22 to passage 32:32. Also referenced in Hosea 12:4 where Jacob wrestled an angel for a full night and won. At least that's one interpretation at the very least. Did you know he actually formed a fighting style because of that?" Ritsuka chuckled as Asia seemed really amazed at the moment while Rias looked dumbstruck.

"Surely, you're kidding." Rias weakly offered but Ritsuka didn't look the least bit like he was joking.

"Not at all. He did develop a style of fighting only known as Jacob's Limbs. It was created specifically for fighting against Angels, angels of any kind I might add. Through his life his style was passed only to two other people. One you may know as Noah… and the other became known as Saint Martha." Ritsuka continued as Asia started to squeal in abject happiness at learning more about those saints canonized by the church. "So… a while back one of those spirits I might have contracted with was one of those saints and I so happen to be able to use that fighting style as well."

"Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!" Asia jumped at the chance which both made Rias smile and furrowed her brow in worry. This would probably get her in trouble later with the church… but would also make them all look stupid for allowing a sweet girls such as Asia to be made a pariah.

"You have that as well Ritsuka?" Rias left the exasperated smile on her face show because this was getting to be ridiculous to some degree… someone like this couldn't really exist.

"I have like three hundred plus different things I have to show. At most you've seen….nine maybe ten of them. Don't worry though. We're working together and I told you that I trust you already. No worries." Ritsuka gave off his warm smile… and Rias, for the life of her, couldn't deny that he was telling the truth.

"Oh my gosh… learning a saint's gift. Praise to the lo- " Asia immediately held her head as a migraine rocked her body. "Ow…"

"We really need to work on that still." Ritsuka sighed and chuckled as he patted Asia's head. "Okay… we're not exactly going to expect you to have amazing combat skills all in one day and I don't expect you to learn them all at once. No matter what happens I'll be making sure you know exactly how to handle yourself for future situations."

Ritsuka's eyes took on a deeper blue color and seemed to see through all falsities. Asia gulped slightly since Ritsuka had never stared her down like he did for other people. He always took great care with his gaze but for today there was an exception. Asia could finally feel exactly what everyone else could whenever his gaze met their own.

The weight wanted to make her buckle from how heavy it felt. The pressure on her back was nearly unbearable but she stood straight up.

For the next few hours she was forced through several stances. It was something that her lacking endurance could barely contend with. Luckily, her previous conditioning had let her make it through. Even as the others joined them after their own training had come to an end, only Koneko joined in learning the movements Ritsuka was performing.
