"Did you hear? Someone said that a Lesser Angel passed the Blood Rite; can you believe it?"
"Huh…? It's already impossible enough to pass the second stage, as every Angel was granted a weapon, but he actually passed the final stage? Must be an over-exaggeration. It must be an Angel with only two Divine Locks who was basically a Lesser Angel."
"No, I'm serious! His name is Kai from class 1-A, and he's an actual Lesser Angel!"
"Wow… Did he become a boy-toy for a High Angel or something?"
"Right? I was thinking the same thing."
"How did he pass? He only has one Divine Lock, and to pass, one would need at least two."
"That's the weird part; I think his only Divine Lock is a mutated one—so it can contain more mana than normal. I'm not quite sure."
Barbara heard about the Lesser Angel the first time in her class—from two students bantering a few seats away. She was also surprised, as Angels and High Angels were bestowed immense advantages by the academy.
