The Third King of Kuoh Academy
Chapter 1
The rays of the bright morning sun snuck through my blinds and shone on my face. I began to open my eyes and wake myself up from the nightly slumber. I brought up my left hand and rubbed my eyes. Yawning, I tried to raise my upper body and sit up in bed, but to no avail. I titled my head and saw the blonde, black, and pink hair of my three lovely, infatuated servants.
"Come on girls, not again." I said with a chuckle as the girls began to wake themselves up. They must have snuck into my room last night again. Gosh, why did I think having a bunch of teenage girls as servants would be a good idea.
"But Varian~" the blonde one sang as she crawled onto my chest and looked into my sky blue eyes. "I want to stay in bed and cuddle with you all day long." She finished and threw her arms around my neck and nuzzled up against me.
"Oh Ashlen you're too cute sometimes." I tell her as I wrap my arms around her.
"Varian, how come Ashlen gets all the attention every morning?" The black haired one asked while she grabbed my arm and pressed herself against me.
"Oh come on Violet, you know I love you too." I told her with a smile and she immediately blushed as she snuggled up closer to me.
"Varian stop giving these stupid bimbos so much love! We all know you love your cute little princess the most." The tiny pink haired girl called out and began to jump up and down on my queen sized bed. She tripped and the blue blanket went flying off the bed as she fell on my face. She sat there and looked around, confused.
"Where did my master go?" she asked in her adorable and childish voice. I reached up and poked her thigh which caused her to jump up. She looked down and saw that she was sitting on my face and she immediately blushed and jumped off the bed.
"I'm so sorry master Varian, please don't punish me too hard." She called out as she kneeled in front of the bed. I stood up and walked in front of her.
"You're so silly Amy." I said as I smiled and patted her soft pink head. She looked up and smiled before latching onto my leg and making it so that I could no longer walk.
I started laughing, "Come on Amy get off. How about you three go wake the others and I'll get breakfast started." I asked them and they all cheered in response. Each one gave me a kiss on the cheek before they left my room and descended down the spiral staircase to the main floor. I laid back on my bed and smiled at my fortune. It's so good to be me sometimes.
Now you're probably wondering why a teen who looks like he's only fifteen has three lovely, flirty girls in his bed this early in the morning. Well for starters, I'm a high class devil and all those girls are my servants. I've been traveling to different high schools all over the world and recruiting other teens to become my servants and complete my set of evil pieces. Oh right I should probably better explain that too. Well, when a high class devil finds someone, who they think will be a valuable slave, we have to perform a chant and give them a designated role in the household. These roles are given the names of different chess pieces.
I had almost completed my set and I was just hanging out in the underworld. I just didn't feel like enrolling in another school and going through all that trouble again. Well at least that's how a felt until my old master showed up.
I walked down the spiral staircase a bit later. I had put on my lounging sweatpants and black t-shirt and I was currently running my hands through my shaggy black and red streaked hair. From what my master told me, my hair use to be all black but when he reincarnated me it changed to black and red.
Right I forgot to mention that I wasn't always a devil. I was born a human and my master had to reincarnate me as well. But, unlike most slaves, I was given the special honor to become a high class devil after I did a certain deed. But I shouldn't go into that right now…it's such a long and boring story.
Anyway, I got to the bottom of the stairs and looked out over the mansions main floor. It was a long hallway with a wooden floor and bright white walls. There were desks beside every door and they all had candles on them. At the end of the hallway there was another spiral staircase that lead up to the other side of my grand bedroom. Honestly I almost never use that staircase, not really sure why. But that's beside the point. The hallway was divided at the middle by a large entrance way that lead to the main room. The entrance way had two stairs going down to the main floor of the mansion. To the left of the main floor was a massive entrainment room, complete with every game system and TV a teenager could possibly want. To the left was a grand kitchen with tons of refrigerators, pantries, and stoves. And across from the two stairs was the grand oak door.
"Sometimes I feel really, really rich." I said out loud and chuckled. I'm not that rich at all, especially by high class devil standards. Everything I have is a donation from my old master. He's the only high class devil that ever paid me any respect. All the others treat me like a loser and an outcast. That's probably why I'm so close with my servants. I love each one of them to death and I'd do anything for them to be happy. Probably helps that they're all girls too.
I go through the big entryway and look over the main floor of the mansion and smile at all my servants who are assembled, waiting for me.
"How is everyone this morning?" I ask and wave at them all.
"We are amazing master Varian. It's a pleasure to see you this morning." They respond in unison. Sometimes there affection makes me feel bad. It's almost like they only love me because I'm their master. I feel like I didn't really earn it.
I walked down the stairs and followed the girls into the dining room. They were all there: Amy, Violet, Ashlen, Jasmin, Aria, Ella, Sara, Tera, Seraphin, and Brittany. They were my almost complete set of evil pieces. My Knights: Violet and Seraphin, my Rooks: Ashlen and Aria, my Bishops: Amy and Jasmin, my Queen: Brittany, and my Pawns: Ella, Sara, and Tera. Sometimes I think it's funny that all the pawns' names rhyme.
They all take their seats at the dining room table and I journey into the kitchen to begin making breakfast. I get halfway through the bacon and eggs before we hear a loud banging on the door.
"We'll get it!" My three adorable pawns called out and I smiled and nodded back at them. They ran over to the grand oak door and swung it open. Inside the now open doorway stood a man that I didn't expect to see for a very long time.
"Varian, someone special is here to see you." They all called as they lead a tall, red haired man into the dining room.
"Master Sirzechs! It's wonderful to see you again sir. What can I do for you?" I ask a bit flustered. This man is the most powerful devil and my old master, pretty scary dude if you ask me.
"Hello Varian, it's a pleasure to see you again as well. I'm happy to see how well your peerage is coming along, these are some lovely girls." He said in his calm, kind voice.
"Thank you very much sir. Would you like to join us for breakfast?" I asked him and showed him a plate full of my special recipe bacon.
"I'm sorry, but I can't stay to long. I've come on more official business." He responded and my face fell. Oh no…official business…
"What is it sir? Do you need something from me?" I asked, half out of fear and half out of curiosity.
"Well I've come to ask a favor." He told me as he took a seat at the head of the table. Amy and Violet brought him a cup of coffee and he accepted it with a smile. I walked over and sat on the counter across from him. I honestly felt really stupid, he was in his "Lord of the Underworld" robes and there I was in…sweatpants and a stupid t-shirt with a cat on it.
"A favor? What would you ever need me to do sir?" I asked, now completely intrigued.
"Since you're one of my most trusted and oldest friends I've decided that you're the perfect man for the job. You're also young enough to accomplish it with no problem." He began and I was completely puzzled.
"What is it exactly?" I asked.
"You remember my little sister Rias right?" He asked and my face fell even more. Not her…
"Yes sir, how could I forget that sweet, beautiful girl?" I said and I felt like I was lying. Honestly I wanted to forget her so bad. She was always a jerk to me when I was Sirzech's servant and she never gave me any respect.
"Well I would like for you to enroll in her school and keep an eye on her for me." He asked me and actually looked like this was something he cared about. So, there was no way I was letting my master down.
"I wouldn't mind watching her for you at all sir. You can count on me." I told him with a confident smile. He smiled back and stood up to leave.
"Thank you so much Varian, I knew I could count on you. I'll go home and get you enrolled right away." He nodded and began to walk with me towards the door.
"Oh, and there is one more thing." He said as he began to step out of the doorway.
"Yes sir?" I asked and watched him reach for the door handle.
"I want to set up an engagement between you and my sister. That's all, bye bye." He slammed the door like lighting and teleported straight off my porch.
"Marry Rias? No way." I started to shiver at the thought of it and eventually, the thought just got funny to me and I started laughing. I walked back into the dining room and finished making breakfast.
"So what is the plan master?" Tera and Sara asked as they walked up behind me.
"It looks like we're all going to Kuoh Academy. Go pack your bags girls. I know that I'm going to need you guys with me through this one." I told them and they all cheered as they ran upstairs to get their bags.
"This is gonna be one crazy adventure…I can already feel it." I said to myself and grabbed a plate piled high with bacon.
