Chapter 188: A grudge misdirected
Pov Dia,
Dia: "Wow, I guess you could say he's got a temper. Who is he?"
I had come to visit my sister, and when I arrived, I saw a blond-haired child practicing swordsmanship with such determination that he was doing more harm than good.
Rias: "That's Isaiah, but he wants to be called Kiba Yuto now because he has rejected his former name. He's going to be my future Knight in my peerage. He's also the sole survivor of 'The Holy Sword Project.'"
I had heard of that project.
It was a church initiative aimed at training children to become bearers of sacred swords, particularly Excalibur. Unfortunately, when they realized the project was a failure, they committed genocide against all the children.
However, I hadn't heard of a male survivor—only a little girl who was saved and imprisoned within her Sacred Gear.
Dia: "I heard about it, but that doesn't explain why he's training like this—tearing his muscles more than strengthening them."
Rias: "The trauma he experienced was so intense that he swore to avenge himself and destroy all sacred swords, especially Excalibur."
