Playing With Other Supernaturals

Ouroboros Academy. Aside from being an academy, it's also a newly recognized major faction that holds the rights and is the only manufacturer of the most sought-after Soul Gears.

The one handling the mass production of the Soul Gears previously was the Belial House of the Underworld. But when Cleria Belial received an early tip that the Underworld government was going to move to control these highly dangerous weapons, she immediately transferred everything to the just recently established Ouroboros Academy.

The Underworld tried to veto this but Cleria had already prepared various fail-safes since she knew this was already an inevitability.

However, for this to happen smoothly, some sacrifices were needed and those sacrifices include disowments. As of right now, although Sona still uses the name Sitri, she was already officially stricken off the Sitri House's records. There was a lot of drama before this was officiated but Sona remained firm on her decision, much to her parents' disappointment.

Naturally, it wasn't just Sona but also the other core members of the Ouroboros Academy that had to cut ties with the organizations or factions they were previously in, essentially becoming traitors in the eyes of those groups.

While the Ouroboros Academy has thousands of students and hundreds of staff and instructors, only the core members, which are composed of the women very close to Kisuke, including his mother and a few select Deities from the Dungeon world, are considered part of the "major faction".

There are some concerns about the core members utilizing the students and instructors as part of their faction, but after using the contract spell that is similar to what the Devils use and ensuring that they won't be allowed to participate in any of its activities as a faction.

Because the academy also accepts students and hires staff regardless of their origin, applications flooded in and even those who were still opposed to letting the academy have this much autonomy and freedom couldn't do anything. After all, this faction, especially the core members, were still a black box that's capable of mass destruction of an unknown degree and many others would rather send their own people to investigate than pressure the group to only have them move in the shadows, silently, and most importantly, deadly.

Another important point is that only the Ouroboros Academy has the pathway towards the Dungeon world. While they can't control it completely because of the contract they handed out to various factions to gain influence, they are still the ones who are maintaining it and the specifics of their gate technology are still locked behind their doors.
