Rin's a little hot tempered, but his temperament is directed toward good things, but to others not so much. To other's it appears as though he's a bum with anger issues. He gets into fights a lot and can't hold a job. Rin gets into fights because they're for a good cause, but try explaining that to the FATHER. The man whose raised Rin and his brother, Yukio, is Father Fujimoto.
So Rin's getting ready for an interview and is heading off to make himself a decent, respectable man. Until he encounters the jerk he fought the night before who found it amusing to kill pigeons with his gang. Hush money's presented because like most jerks, he has rich, well-known parents. Rin turns it down and things begin heading south.
The guy's been possessed by a demon, which Rin believes are bogus. The guy's trying to fately harm or kill Rin, which ever comes first. Suddenly, after years of knowing he was different Rin's true self comes out. Within a whirlwind of action and exorcism from Father Fujimoto, Rin's informed that he's the son of a powerful demon, Satan to be exact.
Rin must hide from Satan and all the demons who know of his existence now. But a turn of events causes Satan to appear and Rin to unleash all of his powers held within a sword. Rin unleashes his powers so he can be strong but it wasn't enough.
Rin not only catches the eyes of all manner of demons, but the eyes of the Knight's. Knight's of the True Cross Academy to be exact. Coming to kill Rin the goofy looking director of the Acadmey doesn't give Rin much of a choice. Until Rin declares he wishes to be an excorsit like the Knight's.
Finding the idea amusing and a little ingenious the director, Mephisto, declares Rin can become like them. Of course everyone's stunned and uneasy of the notion. But the road Rin wishes to take will not be easy.
Rin sets out with his brother, Yukio, to the Academy only to find more surprises. Not to mention his fraternal twin's not wishing to speak to Rin. So Rin has to sort of persuade Yukio to talk.
Welcome to the world of demons, Satan, teenagers, and more. There's some gore in it but it's not too intense, though some may find it a little disturbing. Rin's world just got opened up to him and he finds out that he was the only one excluded from information.
There's some cussing in the book, no romance scenes so X out sex. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am going to continue reading the volumes. If you enjoy demons and exorcists, action, and turmoil then do check this book out.
