17 years old

I looked around the hospital room, after releasing my current patient and noticed how much smoother the work was being conducted with the latest bunch of children. The hospital was located near the Lucifer Mansion, like a few miles, this was because; some part of the hospital was specially designed to stay in that territory.

My office, of course, was in the warded area as I am a valuable asset and I have to take high profile patients like Lucifer himself if he pissed off his wife. If there is another patient that needs my care, I have to leave the area, but in general, I remain in my office. In the last year, many nurses(ninja) have been promoted to doctors as they learned the mythical palm Jutsu and as such were able to help more than just as a nurse.

This was the third batch that came and I was happy with the result as I was with my current standing and power. I was a seven tail, high-class devil, made possible with both the increase in business and area that was under me in Xaka.

This happened due to my minions or ninjas if you want to be specific; I am happy with how things are currently, there are a few regrets that I have, but they are minor and as such easy to consider them a lesson instead of thinking about them obsessively.

I still remember the time when I was interviewed first by each Satan individually and then in a group. Many things that I wanted to keep quite came up, like how I paid officers to shut down my case and paid my owner quietly to have him remove my contract.

It was all technically legal as I never committed the crime but it did make them vary of it. I was still a child so it didn't change much about the contract apart from some changes in pact. They did pointedly ask me that things like that should not happen.

It was not the largest surprise though, that was from learning I am teaching children how to harness chakra and use it as I do. This was a shock to them as they thought only I could do that. They made another change due to that. Instead of just a small clinic, they opened a whole hospital where people can go.

They made it such that there was room for growth and I should priorities such that it is up and running as soon as possible. As it would be a good way to make money and gain the recognition that would make it easier for my transition to being a high-class devil.

Now I am the owner of a large hospital that treats hundreds of patients daily. The Maou thought about their own treatment first, but as I confirmed I can teach this to others, they forced me to send the entire initial batch, such that they would learn more about healing and thus can treat all the people living in their land.

It was a good way to attract more people to their land, as only those living in the area would receive the benefits as others have to pay additional charges to the Maou. I still remember how heavy-handed they were in the interview.

FLASHBACK

I teleported back to my office to see my second in command's David and Nathan sitting on the chairs talking to each other, nodding toward them ones, I went for my desk and pulled a bottle from my drawer.

David asked, "Did anything else come up?"

I took a sip of rum and nodding toward him ones said, "They found about our academy, want to get all the students from there to join it the hospital"

Nathan interjected, "which hospital, they were asking for a clinic where you are a doctor and nurse would be provided by them, and can you please explain properly, I would ask you to not drink but I don't want to be swallowed by the ground."

I took a sip as I thought about the last meeting when the news that I was a criminal surfaced, it was a more thorough interview by Ajuka and he had spent considerable time looking at my history. It was in no way a good interview, I had to describe in detail what happened and there was an additional clause added to the pact.

If I ever committed any crime after signing it, I would have to tell them what it was and they would treat me like any criminal from then on. When I came back, I had a splitting headache and using my trusted method of drinking was on my list when Nathan tried to be a little pushy why I was drinking and giving a moral lesson.

I used chakra to bury him underground for a few minutes to show my appreciation of his point. Taking another sip to clear my memories I said, "It was a joint interview, they found out about our academy, in question and answer it came out how I can teach others how to access and use chakra as I do. They totally uprooted my plans and now, there would be a hospital where in the first year I would work alone, in the other area, the medical knowledge and working of the hospital would be taught to our batch of children"

There were loud noises of curses and denial from both of them, after a few moments Nathan said, "What are you going to do about it boss, this would not be good for "Leaf" we would not be able to grow properly if all the children are leaves and there are no thorns to protect them, especially in current climate"

I nodded at him and said, "We will have to be creative about it, while I can't do anything illegal after the pact is signed, I can still do things that toe the line. You are correct though, if all our minions went to the hospital, they would just be tying themselves to a job, we can definitely use them in future, but we both know as soon as I am ousted there would be a lot of people just clamoring to enslave me"

They both nodded at that, David said, "I was partially thinking of using them to fortify our position in some areas, they will gain experience and we would get more people to keep this area fortified. I know your brain though, what creative idea are you going to use now"

Taking another sip, I said, "I knew, this would get out, we can't hide forever, even if I didn't share my technique with anyone, people would have tried to experiment and while it would have taken time, the secrets would have gone out eventually. We can't win every battle; secrets are just hidden treasure that can be used to exploit us."

Nathan shook his head and said, "I know boss, that's why we started this academy, with hundreds of mind experimenting on the subject, we would get a very diverse application and usage of chakra. With your guidance we would be so far ahead that, even if someone copied us, they would be so far behind that by the time they would reach our stage, we would already have established ourselves globally"

That was the truth, I wanted my name to be globally known, and it should be told as if I am Einstein or Newton. I always wanted that, to establish myself as a person who unlocked the secrets of chakra. While I was not as insecure of my place as before, I knew, I was still a pawn in the current environment. There was nothing I could do, with my current power and resources.

That would change though, I would continue to grow stronger, and with an army of ninja under me, I would get a lot more resources than if I was alone. I would have to play the game though, till I am powerful enough to flip the board.

Taking another sip to forget about this currently, I said, "If things continue the way, Maou want, we would be just an extension to them, we would be used as a pawn and thrown when we are no longer needed. I believe they want to marginalize me and reap all the benefit while keeping an eye on me"

They grew angry at that, I motioned toward the drink and while Nathan took a moment more, they both began to drink with me.

I continued, "The good thing though is we can still act, we just have to be extra careful from now on. First, we have to implement a few different anti-spying measures on my forest, after that, we will have to grow faster and in silence to not tip our hand currently"

When they nodded, I said, "As things stand now, if I told them we are taking 60 children in this batch, they would want all of those. They would know the number as they are able to monitor us financially and through Ajuka's prediction. We can't do anything about that, what we can do is, defeat them in their own game"

Seeing their faces I laughed and continue, "Ajuka would be able to see which slaves were sold and the land we take and a variety of things in account, but he can't take into account what he can't see. You both know Shane Frici open his mouth last month, have either of you gone through what all he told us"

Seeing David's nod, I asked him to explain while I enjoyed another glass, "He told us about his hidden gold and how he got his slaves".

Nathan asked for further details in the slave trade, so David continued, "He had manipulated four small villages, to have them send their people to fight in the war against bad people in the supernatural community. They would send people to fight against supernatural threats, in return, they would be given resources that they can't produce themself. Those people would be converted to slaves and as each village is totally sealed off from the outside world, it was easy for him to exploit them"

Nodding my head I said, "While it is bad, we are not going to use them like that, these villages are filled with humans who know about supernatural, we would not exploit them further in that department. What we can do though is set up an academy in each of the villages. We will tell them how we are training the children as initial war is over and we want to make them strong for the future. My clones would go there each morning to conduct classes."

I allowed them to think about my words while enjoying the drinks, Nathan said, "Boss, you were already at your limit in clone department, you told us how, you got a small headache at the end of the day, due to clones, how can you support an additional 8 clones, with your current routine, you are already generating 10 clones and I don't think it would be good to stop those tasks."

I agreed with him, I currently used 10 clones, of which two went to the academy; another went to Kuroka and her sister teaching them about chakra. Five of them worked to master elements and the rest took care of teaching and maintaining order in Xaka. There was always work to be done, and with my clone, I don't have to do the paperwork myself.

If I stopped training myself I could send the clones but that would seriously halt my own growth and I was wary of doing that. Thinking about it for a second I lost myself in searching for an answer when David cleared his throat.

When I concentrated on him, he said, "I know from last month's statics we have 12 interested in combat and 18 in medic, why don't we remove the top 4 combative from the group and have them assign to each village. They can help you in teaching and you would need that"

I nodded before saying, "what about the demand for all of the children, won't the Maou be displeased about it"

"No, we can say, they would be used to reach further as you are thinking of setting up two classes and with the added duty of hospital, you would need them too properly train the children"

Wow, I looked at the plan for a movement then nodded, "true, they would be happy and as I telling truth, they really would be used to teach other students, they would not be able to see which children they are teaching"

We can use the gold we found from Shane, to send the resources they need, also, setting up a proper structure there in the outer world would be good. As these were already set up, I would just have to maintain the existing ones and keeping everything hidden. Have to properly see about setting up the area though, for future.

We quickly began to talk about setting up the area and how we can benefit from it and of course keep it all hidden.

END FLASHBACK

Apart from initial batch students, 60 students each year joined the hospital. It was a little rough in the initial batch but all was good in a few months. Now, the hospital contained 16 semi-doctors that need more experience to be a proper doctor; the rest got specialized in specific areas, it would only increase in number as more and more students are joining in the hospital each year.

The Maou had a talk with me about it and after much discussion, it was concluded, I would open more hospital ones my doctors got more experience and I would continue to first move toward producing more medics.

I laughed quietly as how my own power structure was increasing, apart from 60 children taught at the leaf academy, I have 4 villages that turn about 100 children each year. From these, I choose 60 that want to be medic and have them sent to the hospital.

There they have their own area, compound more likely and they live near it, getting paid and learning more about healing and medicines. I have made it clear that the Maou can't spy or in any way try to learn what I am teaching my minions and even help me so that this information does not leak out. They were ok with it as it was good to not have my techniques spread.

Those children that got in combat were trained further and then quietly added to the organization when they were powerful enough to defeat a mid-class devil. It was all done such that only a few were added at a time and no one asked about it.

This was done in addition to others that flocked to me as I started to get more popular in the underworld. It was due to my hospital and my rules such as no slavery and proper rights to every citizen in my area.

With the increase in my minion's numbers, I was now one of the top contenders in Xaka, having captured 10.3 percent of the land. It was not all fun and games though, I remembered as I rubbed a small section of my neck and remembered how I got this scar.

FLASHBACK

I looked at all of my preparation that was done as soon as I knew there was going to attack soon. I looked around to see David making some changes to his clothes and asked him, "How are the preparations coming along?"

David looked at me for a second and said, "Good enough so far, with advance warning from Ajuka, we were able to prepare a lot more than I thought possible"

I nodded as he continued, "All the people are as ready as ever and the additional help that we got from Zoro and Maya should let us at least secure the ground properly, then the main fight would be yours though."

That would be correct, according to Ajuka; there was an 80% chance that Ruval would appear in the fight. It was barely a month since my signing of pact and I have only treated about 30 people but the news of my treatment was something that was spread wide and far very quickly.

Phenex clan's value took a negative hit due to that and as such, I was keeping an eye on them, when Ajuka confirmed my suspicion, I seriously started to concentrate on how to make my way through this situation.

I don't have enough man to fight him even with 50% of his army, but that was taken care of by a surprising alliance that was set up by David, between me, Zoro and Maya. In return for help in the current fight, I would heal their men for free for the next two years.

With the addition of forces, I was able to concentrate on the man himself; Ruval was a very good fighter with powers in flames and aero kinesis. His flames were the main attacking power from him though. Instead of regular fire, he had changed his affinity to dark flames somehow; his main attack was a group of animals that sucked the light from an area and burned the victim while playing with them.

It was rumored that his fires froze instead of burned but it was a heavily encrypted thing and I was not able to confirm about it as he burned his enemies to ashes with regular fire attacks.

I waited while keeping a lookout on the area, while David took out an earphone, from which he began to coordinate with the rest of the forces.

I looked sideways when a teleportation circle appeared; from it, Kuroka appeared in all her glory, I was still stuck sometimes by her beauty. She made her move toward me and spoke, "Alex, is this the way to contact your lover before a fight, nya"

"I thought a message would be more than enough to move your ass here, lazy cat"

"It is a very good ass, but you should have at least called, nya"

"Yes, I agree it is a very good and juicy ass, calling you would have been a problem though as I would have to listen to the horrible song that you added as your ringtone for a few minutes"

"Don't dis the song; you just don't have a romantic bone in your body, nya"

"How is "Give me baby" sung over and over by you a good song in any genre"

"It just is, now are you going to fulfill my wish or do I have to take out the big guns"

"As I told you many times before, I am not going to remove my infertility band till you are 18, which big guns are you talking about" While we were talking, David had already left the office, so we both were alone in our discussion.

Kuroka started to move sensually toward me and as she neared she began to expose her nipples while lifting her skirt up to show she had not worn anything under it. It provoked a fire inside me and it was with great difficulty that I didn't move from my position to meet in between.

She purred in my ears, "Dear, wouldn't it be so sexy to fuck me while I am pregnant with your child, drinking milk from my breasts as you pound in senselessly"

The oh so tempting offer was like a bomb in my brain and when I focused back, I found that my reflexes had pinned the dark-haired beauty to the desk and my erection was rubbing with her core. I looked at the beauty and had to give the creator his due, this was one hell of sexy pussy.

Looking at her now, I wanted to fuck her senseless so much, but it was not the time and if I lost myself in her now, I would not be able to fight properly later. I used my hand to remove the skirt and after rubbing her pussy lips for a second, inserted my fingers in her core.

While I can't fuck her senseless, it doesn't mean I can't tease her back. I found the g-spot in her and with a brief application of chakra; I began to grind the spot. It was over far too quickly in my eyes as she lost herself to the pleasure.

It was one of the seduction techniques that I had perfected on whores and it really was a good one. I removed my finger from her very wet pussy and after drinking the divine, directly from the source, I dressed her back.

After that, I put her on my chair while thanking the silencing and other charms on the room that made it impossible to spy and hear anything being done outside. After cleaning myself, I moved outside to see what the situation was, I knew if the fighting would start, it would wake up Kuroka and as such there was no need for the lazy cat to get up, she would just annoy me till I fuck her.

I noticed David talking to someone on the phone and while I waited for the news, I pulled out my spear from my inventory; it was a magnificent weapon now, made purely of Ebrite, it was very tough and with its magic and chakra conduction, I can use in a variety of way.

It was a very good weapon while looking at it; I remembered how I loved guns in the last world. In this, that was converted to this though. Guns as a weapon were very bad in the supernatural world, it can only be used for low-class devils as anyone above that can easily dodge or move through them constructing a shield for them.

Only light lased bullets (that are fucking expensive to get) are able to hurt devils as they slow down the devil in the area due to its property and if you fire an automatic weapon you can kill a mid-class devil from it. Not a high-class devil though as they can overcome the weakness somewhat. A sniper can get the job done but that too is difficult as they are heavy and make a lot of sounds while they move.

While I was admiring my weapon, David moved toward me and said, "Ruval just now flew upward with about half of his people, and Ajuka was right about that as usual; they would not leave their own ground unprotected, they are coming here in a few minutes"

Just as I was about to reply a spike in magic interrupted my reply and we both ran outside to see there was a hole in the sky. From it, a large number of devils began to pour, and instead of replying, I began to move toward the nearest one.

Even without magic and chakra enhancement, I was fast enough to kill the enemy easily as my reflex was too fast for them. I was on my fourth kill when I felt a spike in magic toward my right and I replaced myself with another enemy and watched as he was drilled through with an ice spike. I looked upward to see the person who sent the spell toward me and threw a kunai toward him; he dodged it, in the direction of another spell that split him in half.

I looked toward the sky to see that the man I was waiting for was watching me, he was a strong man, I could tell just from watching him. Ruval was a blond colored blue-eyed man who was entirely too comfortable while being on enemy territory. I started to fly toward him while killing anyone who came near me and replacing me with another enemy if any spell came near me.

It took a few movements to reach near him, but it was done, and after I was near him, no one else from either side disturbed us. Looks like things are going to be heated from now on.

I twirled my staff in the air to attract his attention toward it and when I was successful, I concentrated slightly to ignite my magical circle, I was not able to use it at will with ease, it would take me more time to get familiar with it. It was the circle that was made specifically for me by Ajuka. It amplified my brain capacity and things like reaction time and such from the brain. It would take time to keep it constantly active from the subconscious mind.

It was the most important thing for me right now, while I was fast enough and powerful enough to fight directly, things such as thinking ahead and illusions were not something I could do to someone more powerful than me. With an increase in power, there is an increase in brainpower too, so as a high-class devil, Ruval could outthink me if he tried, also, as he had better senses than me due to being more powerful, I would have to really concentrate on my illusion to make it appear real. That could not be done on a battlefield though.

With the new magic though, I was at least at the level of my opponent and as such, it would be a more fair fight than before. While I was thinking, Ruval said, "I am not going to go easy on you, you can still surrender and I would just request a few things from you"

I rolled my eyes to attract his attention toward it and when I had the chance I ensnared him in an illusion that made it appear I was attacking him. I moved away from him while having him attack his own allies simply due to the power of illusion. It made it appear that I was able to use replacement puppet magic to use his own friends against him.

It was a very tricky illusion, something that I had practiced beforehand and looked it was implemented better than I thought. I quickly motioned to Kuroka that had just appeared to move him to a separate space that was prepared for this battle. I could have him remain here, but the chances were very high that in a few movements someone would counter my ability and if you know about an illusion, it is very hard for that person to be put in another.

The warping of space alerted him to the wrongness of the situation and Ruval expelled a large amount of fire and magic to disrupt the process, but it was already half done by then and I used my staff to push him through the portal.

The was anger on his face now and I could see the tense muscles as he assessed the area. It was a large room, but that was it, it had nothing else apart from the small space. I readied myself and he exploded toward me, using flames, I used my spear to sweep the area and halt his charge. He was not deterred though and tried to more near me. I had to use earth chakra to stabilize my spear as it had started to get from the flames.

He changed his trick again when he threw a knife at me, I had to jump to not get injured and he used this chance to blow me backward. He tried to come at me again but with my Sharingan, I was able to see his movements and he stopped trying to come near me a movement later.

Looks like he knew, I am predicting his movements as he released a large number of black flames in the surrounding. The flames concentrated into creatures and one of them shot toward me, I could see countless animals of all shape and size trying to swarm around me. I tried to use wind release to create a gap but that too was swallowed by them.

Fighting on two fronts was not something that was manageable so instead of going toward Ruval, I moved back a little and began to use my spear to destroy and animals that came near me.

Ice traveled through his blood as his muscles screamed in exertion in just a few minutes, a wolf-like construct struck him from behind and it took all the concentration to not scream out aloud as it left marks on his neck and other parts of the body. They were not only making it hard to fight, but they were also decreasing my stamina too, as it felt like I would topple over just from a gentle wind.

A clock warped around my shoulder and for a movement, I felt some relief from the torments done by this flame, my mind cleared though and that dulled the situation enough that I was able to move a little sideways and instead of my head, the blade met my shoulder and I put a lot of effort in moving away from Ruval.

I could see the sweat on his body as we both fought to kill each other. There was no majesty in this, it was a raw animal fight with both of us fighting to come on top. Finally, I could see him tiring, that was good, he could not have kept the animals for a large amount of time as they were able to fight individually and that takes more power as they have their own brain.

I used one of extended harm to pull him toward me and after sending him flying toward the wall, I dashed toward him, he met me head-on as he had used some magic to angel himself and when he was able to punch me, he was happy for just a movement as my clone popped and I used the distraction to nail my most powerful attack on his head.

He fell down like a sack, I checked hin for a second to see he was unconscious, magically depleted and a variety of other things that would be taken care of with just one drop, of course, I am going to ask from his family a simple thing to release him.

Canceling the marriage between Rias and Riser.

End Flashback

I looked at the time to see it well past my regular hours, looks like no one else needed me and I can spend my time going home and enjoying my pussy.
