After milking Irina, Jin let the girl dry herself and let her out of the Milking Room first. He then used the ability of the room to alter her memories slightly, making her believe it was all a dream.
It would be awkward if they met again, as Irina would still remember what had happened vividly, but he would be able to make an alibi at that time.
He teleported away to the Kuoh Academy after he changed his clothes to the uniform. It was to avoid getting found by Irina and Xenovia as well as to use the people around the Academy as his alibi.
Fortunately, Sona and Tsubaki were still there. Although they were surprised by Jin's sudden appearance in the student council room, they still greeted him warmly.
"Jin-kun, what's the matter?"
Jin turned to Sona, who did some documents behind her desk. She looked at Tsubaki and nodded slightly. The Queen understood what she had meant and was about to leave the room, but Jin stopped her.
"You don't need to leave, Tsubaki-san. I am just running away from some problem and need Sona and you to prove that I am here at this time."
"Hmm?" Sona looked confused but nodded her head nonetheless. "If that's what you want Still, what kind of problem did you face? If you tell me, then maybe I can help."
"Vouching for my presence here is enough. Anyway, any news from Kiba or Issei?" Jin asked.
The sky had fully turned dark now. His little brother and Kiba should've found the man's body by now and reported it back to Rias or Sona.
Maybe because Kiba was rebelling a bit, he wouldn't report it to Sona, but his little brother would surely not fail to report it to him. But nothing like that has come yet.
"Them? I heard nothing. Is there something wrong with them?"
"Hmm, I guess I can tell you about it."
Excalibur fragments were the church's property and the Devil's demise. It was a Holy Sword meant to slay something wicked, one of the Devil's weaknesses.
If the Devils learned one of the Holy Swords was taken away from the church, they would be overjoyed. Heck, Jin might even be thanked because of his achievement for it.
"Remember Irina and Xenovia that came here to find the missing Excalibur fragments?"
Sona and Tsubaki nodded slightly, indicating they knew about it. Well, they were there at the time Irina and Xenovia visited, so it would be strange if they forgot about them already. Especially after what they did when they visited.
"I found one of the Excalibur fragments and hid it for myself. That's why I need an alibi." He smirked, ignoring Sona and Tsubaki's surprised expressions.
"You what?!" Sona raised her voice as she slammed the table with her hands. "D-Did someone else know about this? And where did you hide it?"
"I have a friend. I asked him to hide it first, and he happily helped me." Jin replied. "I think I can trust him, seeing how he's a fighting maniac who wants to fight me everytime I meet him."
"How can you trust someone like that?" The Sitri's heiress looked at Jin in disbelief. "Well, I won't pry into your friend. You deserve some privacy too."
"Thanks." Jin smiled.
He really liked this part about Sona. She was perspective and knew where to draw the line. As such, she had never once made him uncomfortable with her being around and could share some secret with her.
"Ah, right. While you are here, I need to tell you what I found out about Xenovia Quarta. I thought the name sounded familiar, but I didn't find anything about her. Instead, I found something else."
"Really?"
'Sona did mention something about hearing Xenovia's name. But she really found something?'
At most, he thought she just heard things. But if she really heard something about that name, then the story would be different.
"Indeed, the name of Xenovia Quarta didn't ring a bell. But a part of her name is. I think she's related to Griselda Quarta, one of the exorcists in the church. We have her record because of her achievement and strength. Be careful around her, Jin-kun." Sona explained.
'Griselda'
That name again. He had heard it from Irina and Xenovia already. For her to be able to scold even Irina and Xenovia proved her position. And now, with Sona's information, he became interested in her more and more.
"I'll remember it." Jin nodded. "If there is nothing else, I will excuse myself to find Kiba and Issei. I am a bit worried about those two."
"Sure. See you tomorrow, Jin-kun."
"Yeah."

Jin left the Kuoh Academy and went for a little walk toward the hill where he had defeated the man earlier.
Somehow, he had a feeling that something troublesome had happened. He didn't know what it was, but something must be happening. The air was somehow quiet. And the fact Irina and Xenovia ended their search early meant they had seen something or knew something was wrong.
"Issei hasn't contacted me either." He muttered as he looked at his phone.
Still no call or message from Kiba and Issei. Did they not find anything?
But they should have found something. He had felt them approaching his previous location after he defeated the man.
He started to worry a bit about them when he reached the hill and saw nothing but dead trees and grass littered around the place. It was strange that there was nothing there, but still something was off about this place. Then he felt it with his Senjutsu, three familiar energies.
His alarm bells went off in his head the moment he realized that it was from Issei, Kiba, and Vali...
'That guy!' He now understood what had happened.
The man must have been trying to fight Issei. He had told him that Issei wasn't ready yet, but still...
"That battle maniac!"
Jin had no time to wonder why that guy had shown up in the first place. He took off running toward where Kiba and Issei were. He could see his little brother panting heavily in the middle of the clearing beside Kiba.
In front of them was Vali, who floated in the sky with a translucent blue wing. Jin hid his presence and looked at the situation. It didn't look like Vali tried to kill them. Instead, he looked rather bored.
"Is this the skill of the current Sekiryuutei? How boring." Vali said casually, his voice coming from above as he floated there. "With your strength, don't even think of protecting anyone. You disappointed me."
Jin could sense that Vali was looking down at Kiba and Issei. Hakuryuukou glanced at him slightly, noticing his presence, and smiled.
"Hyoudou Jin is way stronger than both of you combined." He added.
Jin shook his head slightly in disbelief at this guy's audacity. What had he meant? Did Vali want to taunt his little brother and Kiba?
"I know that!" Issei shouted loudly. He didn't know how that guy with white hair knew his brother. But his brother had always been mysterious. "But still, you know nothing! You don't know what you're talking about!"
"Yeah, you're right." Kiba agreed. Somehow he and Issei become friendlier than before.
"Then how about we prove who's stronger?" Vali said with a mischievous expression on his face. "If you lose, I won't kill you. However, if you win then you can decide for yourselves."
"And if you lose?" Kiba asked, cocking his head.
"Do whatever you want with me."
"How convenient." The blonde boy chuckled. "Issei-kun. Let's teach this person how strong we are."
"Yes." Issei nodded firmly, and the gauntlet in his left arm answered his call.
[Boost!]
"Let's punch that guy in the face!"
