It is day two since Stella serves Millicas after that fight between the two in the arena, and has been keeping this whole deal between them and all of Millicas' friends. Today, class is in session and Stella is off in a class doing history, sitting in the middle of the row, listening to the teacher, feeling slightly bored and thought Millicas would be in the same class as him. Millicas happens to be doing sports, having the first year students going up against the second year students, seeing how good they are, getting things interested because Samuel is playing for the second year students while Millicas is leading the first year students.
Stella got out of her class afterwards and came to see what Millicas is doing, reaching to one of the domes, it's the same size as the arena she fought against Millicas but was different, having just a flat empty round area. The game they play as a version of handball except they are allowed to fly around the place, throwing this green softball at one another and tries to throw it through a circle ring with a net around it. The game has twelve people, six on each side while the rest of the students are either watching the battle against the walls or they have already left.
Millicas was seen at the front row of his team, flying over his opponent and throwing the ball towards one of his partners that was floating close to the arena. His partner caught it and throws it towards the goals, only to miss thanks to the goal keeper who happens to be Samuel. He caught the ball and throws it back in.
"You got to do better than that!" Samuel calls out, looking towards Millicas with a smile on his face while Millicas floats there looking back at him.
Stella moves to the side while watching the game, watching Millicas fly around with others trying to get the ball off the one who has it. She soon stops and stood next to Maria who has been here for a while, watching the game. Maria would notice Stella and speaks out to her.
"Stella Vermillion, right?"
Stella looks to her "That's right, and you are?"
"My name is Maria. We will be seeing each other more often, I know all about the consequences with you and Millicas."
"You…" Stella widens her eyes for the moment and gets her face all red "You know about –"
"I serve Millicas… Just like how you'll be serving Millicas for now on."
Stella looks away and crosses her arms. She sighs slightly and began to cool off while watching the match.
After the game was done and Samuel's side won the match, the group came together after the class got out of the locker rooms, wearing their regular uniforms and not their sporting uniforms. Both Samuel and Millicas comes to Maria and Stella and starts walking together down the hallways.
During the walk, Stella looks to Maria and asks "So you are his servant?"
"I am a maid." Maria turns her head to her while they walk "I serve the House of Gremory." She looks to Millicas "I serve Millicas."
"I prefer to call her a friend." Millicas said while they keep walking "Not a servant."
"He's got a reputation to hold." Samuel said
"Shut up…." Millicas said
"You don't need to worry about doing a lot of chores for Millicas." Maria said "Millicas is always kind to me and doesn't order me to do all sorts of stuff for him."
"Well that's hard to believe." Stella looks to Millicas while he keeps walking
"I think the best job Maria likes is washing his body." Samuel said, getting Maria to blush when he said that.
"What!" Stella cries out, seeing Maria embarrass when mentioning that. She looks back to Millicas "You have your servant wash your body?"
Millicas stops and looks to Stella "Hey… Maria just wanted to –"
"Millicas Gremory!" The girl calls out "I finally got the chance to meet you!"
Someone suddenly cries out Millicas' name for everyone in the hallway to hear, having the four to stop and turn around, looking back at this girl who comes rushing towards them. She runs past Stella and Maria and grabs Millicas, making Stella gasp as this girl grabs Millicas' arm and presses her body against him.
"W-What is this?" Millicas asks when moving backwards, finally holding his ground against the woman.
"What are you doing Millicas?" Stella asks, standing on the side between the two
"I have no idea… Who are you?"
"My name is Kagami… Kagami Kusakabe. I'm in the same year level as you. I saw your match against Stella Vermillion and I am a huge fan of you."
Stella begins to look uncomfortable, irritated about Kagami with Millicas and begins to have her face red, bringing jealousy on her face. She notices that Samuel is laughing at this, he could not believe his eyes that he has another girl while Maria simply sighs lightly and remains where she is, but she felt the same way Stella was feeling and keeps it hidden to herself.
"Get a load of this." Samuel said "Looks like someone's got a new girl."
"Hey I'm not doing anything!" Millicas looks to Samuel then to Kagami "Uhh so you saw my fight with Stella?"
"Yes and it was amazing, seeing the destructive powers for the first time, it was terrified but amazing!"
"Y-Yeah thanks I guess…." Millicas said while having his eyes looking back and forth, looking away from Kagami for a moment then have his eyes back down at her, looking down at her body while she keeps her hold over him.
"I'm planning on doing a newspaper club and I want you to be at the front page." Kagami said "Can you please do it? Can you please let me interview you?"
"I don't think I can right now…" Millicas laughs slightly when taking a step back away from her but her grip is still holding his arm, making him unable to move any further.
"Well look at you being all popular at the start of the school." Stella said when turning away "You don't want to keep your public fans waiting Mr. Gremory." She walks away
"Wait hold on!"
"Have fun Millicas." Samuel said when tapping on his shoulder and whispers these words to him "I'll give Stella some company." He walks after her
"W-What… Hey!" Millicas tries to grab Samuel's shoulder when he walks away but with Kagami holding him where he is, he could not reach him. He looks to Maria who was still standing there looking back at him, he asks her "Please help me."
"I'm sure you have things all under control." Maria said
"Seriously?"
Kagami intervenes and introduces Millicas the headline of the front page. "I have just got the name for the headline. Millicas Gremory: Son to the deadly Sirzechs Lucifer, heir to the Gremory Clan and the most powerful man of this school!"
"That's a too big for a headline there…" Millicas moves his hand over to hers "But uhh I'll get back to you later." He finally un-grips Kagami off of him and turns away and runs after both Samuel and Stella.
While Stella continues walking away from the others, still in a bad mood, which would change soon when someone calls out her name. A woman, hiding from the crowd calls out to Stella, getting her to stop and look to the left, looking at the students nearby and could not find the one who spoke out to her. The woman reveals herself to her when coming out of hiding, standing behind three of the boys while they look back at Stella.
"It's you… Adria…" Stella mutters those words, shocked to see her, recognising her from long ago like a blast from the past. Millicas and the others looks to her, also recognising her too while she comes towards Stella.
Adria appears a tall but slim woman with blue eyes. She has blond hair that goes down to her waist, with bangs that cover sections of her forehead and has two small pigtails on her head. She wears the proper Hagun Academy uniform with black stockings that go up to her mid-thigh and boots that go up to her mid-calf.
Adria looks to Millicas "Hello Millicas."
Millicas nods slightly to her "Adria."
"What…" Stella looks to Millicas "You know her?"
"Uhh yeah…" He scratches the back of his head and says "She's my second knight."
"You're…" Stella was shocked to hear this and looks to Adria and asks her if this was true "Is he for real?" Stella asks, seeing her nodding her head.
"Well look at you, you've grown to be quite the woman." Adria said "I have heard you have already caused trouble in the academy. And you seem to have got yourself a friend here." She looks to Millicas
"Oh they did more than that." Samuel intervenes "Stella is Millicas' –"
Millicas stops him from saying that Stella is his servant out loud to everyone, placing his hand over Samuel's mouth to shut him up. Millicas looks to Adria and says "So Adria, when did you arrive?"
"Just now." Said Adria "I thought I could pay my king a visit but it looks like somebody is trying to take my place." She turns her eyes back to Stella.
"I am not taking anyone's place." Said Stella, placing her hands on hips "And how did Millicas get you to be his knight anyway?"
"That's none of your business." Said Adria "And you have no business being with Millicas Gremory."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Stella asks
Millicas intervenes "Hey don't I get to say abou –"
Stella speaks out, stopping Millicas "Well you're wrong because he and I are now… Partners."
"Oh really?" Adria said "And what sort of way is that?"
Millicas mutters "No… Don't you dare Stella…."
"Well uhh… He's my… Uhh…" Stella lowers her voice when thinking about it, hesitating at first to answer this. She felt anxious to get this out into the open but still hesitates.
"Well?" Adria asks "Spit it out!"
"Stella." Millicas intervenes "Don't you dare say –"
Stella ignores Millicas when she breathes in and when exhaling out, she shouts out loud for everyone here to hear her "Millicas is my master, and I am his devoted servant!"
The students, Adria and Kagami gasps out loud in surprise at what they just heard, hearing Stella Vermillion serves Millicas Gremory. Millicas sighs deeply while lower his head and places his right hand over his face, shocked and upset at what she just did to him.
"Son of a bitch…" Millicas mutters to himself "There goes my reputation…"
"Your reputation went out the window the moment you made her your slave." Samuel stood next to Millicas, crossing his arms
Millicas looks to Samuel and says "I did not make her into my slave!"
"What a juicy scandal!" Kagami interrupts him, standing behind him and grabbing his arm with her left hand "I can see the headline right now. Struggle in my arms! A bonded princess servant bends the knee to the next future harem king from the Gremory Clan!"
"Harem king of the…. What?" Millicas sighs and looks back to Stella, seeing her standing close to him, catching him off guard as she stood so close to him just like Kagami did before.
"Hey you wanted to be the harem king." Samuel said "So now everybody knows how much of a pervert you are."
"You are enjoying this, aren't you!?"
Samuel smiles "This day is getting better and better and I'm not the one who's got a huge reputation."
"Is this true?' Adria interrupts, getting Millicas to slowly turn his head to Adria, seeing a yellowish dark aura wrapping itself around her and having a calm but angry look to him. "I'm asking you if this is true."
"Well… Some of it is true… But I can explain…"
Adria lowers her head, hiding her eyes to the group and begins to smile all the sudden "I guess you leave me no choice then…"
"Uhh… Adria?"
Adria raise looks back to Stella and says "In that case, allow me to release you from your oath right now!" She moves her hand over to the side of her left waist, suddenly bringing out a weapon that appears against her waist. It was a silver and golden rapier inside the sheath, the moment she draws the weapon out, it shows the whole blade is silver while the rest of it like the handle and the guard is silver with golden ornaments over it.
"Wait Adria!" Maria intervenes "You know you can't use your weapon in a place like this!"
Adria aims her blade towards Stella and says "I challenge you to a duel, and if I win then you are no longer bound to Millicas Gremory, I will set him free."
"Looks like somebody is jealous that I am with Millicas." Stella said "Very well then. I accept your challenge!" She steps in front of Millicas and conjures up her sword, bringing forth her sword Laevatein.
As the two drew weapons against one another in public, everyone nearby backs away when seeing a fight is about to happen here between two sword users. Samuel backs away and stood back next to Millicas while he remains there, crossing his arms and sighing again.
Maria asks Millicas while she stands behind him "Are you going to do anything about this?"
Stella aims her blade towards Adria and taunts her by saying "This brings back good memories, I remember beating you in most of our duels."
"I have changed a lot, unlike you. You look like you have been busy growing those things to get people's attention, like Millicas. I can see why he made you his servant." Adria looks to Millicas then back to Stella
"It looks like someone is jealous of my body. I didn't force Millicas into this deal, I made this deal and I must honour the agreement."
"Oh so you wanted Millicas to be your servant if you should win." Adria sighs and drops in a bomb against Stella by calling her "Bitch."
Adria suddenly went out of control when she heard that last word, she responds by calling her "Ugly." And triggered the both of them to go into attack mode. Both charge against each other, swinging their swords to clash blades, which would unleash a gust of wind and strong power through the hallways, knocking the students away and causing serious damage to the buildings.
The moment the two are about to clash weapons against each other, Millicas suddenly intervenes as he is done sitting back and watching this happen. He uses his incredible speed to suddenly stand in between the two and somehow he prevents them from attacking each other. He stood in the middle and grabs both their blades with his bare hands, covering himself in his destructive aura to negate the damage on him, stopping them from harming each other and to everyone nearby.
Millicas faces Adria while holding her rapier with his left hand, having the blade of her rapier on his left side of his face. Millicas faces Adria with this serious look, showing his darker side when he uses this technique to anyone. He tells her "That is enough."
Stella stood where she is while Millicas held onto her blade with his right hand, having the blade close to the right side of his waist. She was astonish to see Millicas like this, thinking back to the time when she challenges him in the director's office, seeing for the first time his destructive aura that cancels her fire.
Stella notices Adria was more stun than she is as Millicas looks back at her, making her turn away while blushing slightly. She lowers her sword when Millicas lets go of their weapons, making Adria to remain quiet while sheathing her rapier.
Very soon, things become worse when the Director shows up, approaching the group notices the two wielding their swords. Everyone turns towards her when they heard her voice "What is going on here?" The Director asks, getting only silence from the group.
Director Kurono punishes both Adria and Stella after they were about to use their weapons inside the school, sending them to the female's bathrooms and orders them to do clean-up duty. Both of them are force to start washing the floors while Kurono stands by the door, watching the two do their job and explains to Stella and Adria about the rules of this school.
"Inside or outside of the school, it is forbidden to use your weapons for combat outside an arena. I thought you of all people would know about this, Adria. Ordinarily I would suspend the both of you for almost trying something like that, however, since it is the second day, I will look the other way but you two will need to be punished for doing something so reckless. You two will be doing clean-ups in the female's restrooms for a week. You can now thank me for my generosity."
"Thank you very much for your generosity, Director." Stella said while having her back towards her.
"I'm sorry too." Adria said "I won't do something like that again."
"Good. You two better go faster because there are twenty six more to go." Kurono walks out of the bathroom, leaving the rest to them.
Elsewhere, Millicas, Maria and Samuel sits together by the tables, drinking together and discussing about what just happen between Adria and Stella.
"I can't believe they are force to do washing up duty." Samuel said
"And they didn't even fight each other, all thanks to you Millicas." Maria turns her head to the side towards Millicas who sits next to her, drinking a can of soda
"Yeah, but if Millicas didn't interfere then things would still stay the same."
"I guess so."
"It can't be helped." Millicas lowers his can and looks back to the two "At least now, Adria is with Stella."
"And that means you have one more problem to deal with." Samuel said "Although this always happens when someone tries to start up a bloody harem."
"Can you stop bringing that up." Millicas looks to Samuel "If this was a harem, you wouldn't be in it."
"That doesn't work that way, there's always another guy in there somewhere."
"As a supporting character."
"You take that back!"
A sudden interference ends this conversation before it got out of hand the same way Stella and Adria went. A sudden noise stops the conversation, having Millicas to look down to his pocket and takes out his phone, noticing someone calling him.
"Who is it?" Maria asks
"It's Rias…"
"Rias Gremory? Your aunt?"
"Yeah." Millicas gets off his seat and takes a few steps forward while looking down at the phone
"Isn't she on Earth?" Samuel asks "How the hell are you getting a signal in the underworld?"
"She's probably in the underworld." Millicas shrugs then looks back to Maria and Samuel "Can you two give me some privacy?"
"Sure." Maria gets off her seat then looks to Samuel "Come on, Samuel."
Samuel sighs "Alright."
The two walks away and gives Millicas alone time with his talk with Rias on the phone for a while.
After the long day of cleaning up all of the females bathrooms, both Stella and Adria finally got a break and stood outside the dormitories. Both of them took a break from fighting each other and got drinks, getting water bottles to drink and relax for a while.
During the silent treatment from the both of them, Adria stops drinking and says this to Stella "Millicas isn't mad at us, just so you know. He doesn't like being pushed aside and when he intervenes, he gets so serious."
"He seems to have two sides of him…" Stella said
"He does." Adria places the lid over bottle and seals it tight before continuing "One side that shows his real self, his friendly self. He cares about everyone around him, doesn't want people tearing each other a part. The other side of him, as you already know, that side is his serious look, his destructive aura look. He may have his father's power and his look, but he's got his mother's wrath."
"Is that what she's like?" Stella asks
"Grayfia is a kind person, but when it comes to someone trying to piss her off… She shows off a form you don't want to see. Millicas told me he saw this angry look of her all the time. However, she never uses that look on Millicas."
Stella sighs and closes her eyes for the moment, thinking back to the events of her fighting when seeing Millicas in his destructive aura and his dark look. She stops thinking about the past when Adria speaks out, making her open her eyes when Adria says "You haven't changed a bit, Stella."
"Hmmnn… You too, Adria…"
Adria departs and returns to her room while Stella does the same thing, returning to her room where she'll find Millicas in there. Stella walks in and notices Millicas standing there without a shirt on, she gasps slightly and when Millicas turns to her, she got red while she stares at his chest.
"Y-Y-Y-Y-"
"Are you having a stroke?" Millicas asks
"Where's your shirt!" Stella shouts out
"Oh yeah… Well… Sorry." He turns to the table where his black shirt was and puts it on while Stella watches him for a bit until she looks away when he turns back towards her "Better?"
"Y-Yes." She walks past him and goes to lie down on the bottom of the bunkbeds
Millicas sits down and looks towards her, saying "Sorry about earlier."
"Huh?" Stella turns her head to him
"I couldn't let you two destroy each other because of me. You understand that right?"
"Yeah…" She moves up and sits on the side of the bed "Me and Adria go way back during my time when living at home, I wanted to face so many odds to improve my strength. She and her family came to meet with my family, which got us two to fight each other. She is the only one who pushed me to my limit."
"I've seen her fight. She went against me a few times in a virtual world."
"Virtual world?"
"Azazel created a virtual world called Azazel Quest. I once came into that world and I met her, seeing her picking fights against other people and also fighting monsters. Us two met and we engaged in battle, after that we met each other again and we fought against each other, which I won both rounds."
Stella laughs "I wish I was there to see it."
"Yeah. After the second round, we got to know each other and eventually I allowed her to serve me as a knight."
"Perhaps one day I will accept that challenge against Adria in the normal fashion way."
"Maybe you can." Millicas looks back and takes out the IPad that was on the table, turning it on and going through the console, looking for something. He eventually found what he was looking for and turns the IPad around to show Stella, showing her a website that shows the title of the tournament known as 'The Demon Sword Tournament'.
"The Demon Sword Tournament." Stella said when leaning forward and looking at the title on the IPad.
"Yeah I think Azazel named this tournament." Millicas looks back at the screen while talking "It's a tournament I'm planning on participating in. There are twenty four people taking part in this tournament from all the schools in the underworld and also in the human world. Whoever wins gets the trophy and you get a bonus round against the previous winner of this tournament."
"Is that so…" Stella got off the bed and takes the IPad to get a look at it, looking through the list of candidates who is taking part of the tournament. She scrolls the page down with her finger on the screen, noticing Millicas' name on it and even seeing Adria and Samuel are taking part of it. "All three of you?" Stella asks when lowering the IPad and looking back to Millicas
"Yeah." Millicas nods and takes the IPad "I have been looking through the people on this, there's only half the people here that signed up. I am waiting for the others." He looks back on the screen, looking at the bottom candidates who signed up a few hours ago. Millicas smirks when looking at the two candidates "Well get a look at this…"
"What is it?"
"Xenovia Quarta and Kiba Yuuto." He lowers the IPad and looks up at the ceiling, thinking back of the time when he was talking to his aunt Rias on the phone, mentioning that her knights are going to be part of this tournament. Since they are coming, Rias and the whole peerages, including Issei is coming to watch the tournament.
"You know those two?" Stella asks, getting Millicas to look back to her
"They are the two knights that belong to my niece."
"Rias Gremory…" Stella said
"Yeah. I sometimes call her my big sister because she's like a sister to me." He looks back at the IPad then looks to Stella and lends her the IPad "But anyways, you should sign up if you want to face Adria."
"Hmmnn… That's not all I want to face."
"What?"
Stella stands there with her hands on hips "I plan to face you Millicas. Our match isn't over and I am not going to lose this time against you."
"Well then… I'm looking forward to that."
