Chapter 6: Making a Statement


I kept my gaze bored into the prick who poured his drink on me. I am hoping that he swings on me or gives me ANY excuse to go nuts on him. I could just ignore Sona's wants or the favor she asked, but I like to keep my word. If my sanity is in question I know I have some control, by sticking to my guts. That is irrelevant though, since right now I have an asshole who thinks that because he has fire and comes from a Noble Family that he can do what he wants.

My flames lick against my skin and Riser's lick across his. The combined heat is causing people to get away as they feel as though they will melt for getting too close. He sneers at me and then speaks. "Now you threaten me? ME?! You have no idea who I am do you, you low class scum!" He laughs and so does his group behind him, except for a blonde girl with twin drill like hair coming down. She seems to be a bit nervous, probably because of this guy's attitude towards the father of a Satan.

Riser then takes a grand bow in a form of showmanship, his gold embroidery of his suit glinting as he does. "Allow me to educate you on the man you have just threatened to kill. I am Riser, Riser Phenex!" He raised his head and then looked at me as if waiting for me to beg. I didn't. I actually just smiled.

"You? A Phenex? So if I beat you till your last breath instead I can do the Underworld a favor from all the Phenex tears you will shed?" I chuckle and Riser grits his teeth, not liking that he didn't get the desired effect.

"Ahem!" I, and Riser, turned to the sound of the person clearing their throat and got to see it was Lord Sitri. He looked at me and then spoke clearly and slowly so I can understand. "Luca... I understand you are angered, and I am infuriated as well. I can do a lot of things for you when you are a part of the family, and that brings me to the current problem." I focused on him as he gave me a stern look. "You have not been wedded to Sona yet. You are engaged and thus you are not at the level of a High-class Devil yet. To top it off, you aren't even a Devil, so you will have even more problems if you kill Riser."

I grind my teeth as I go over it all in my head. The Nekoshous are a prime example in this case. A reincarnated one turned stray and the Devils exterminated the entire race. The Yokais made a big stink about that and have a hatred for the Devils because of it. I can't kill him or I'll just be killed instead and Valper will go free to do more death and destruction. He'll never face punishment. I began to breathe heavily, and as I exhaled blue flames would come out in puffs of flame. I looked to Riser and then seen he wore a smug grin on his face. He then made a motion for me to kneel, but then Lord Sitri continued.

"However..." I turned to him and he then gave me a coy smile. "you can't face extreme punishment if you heavily injure him, IF you can at least. The Phenex regeneration is astoundingly powerful and because of that it will be hard for you to kill him. With all that being said, since you can't kill him and benefit from the Sitri family help, you can instead defend yourself as you see fit and fight him off should he tempt you to violence." He then gave me a wink and then glared at Riser.

Riser then picked this moment to speak. "Lord Sitri! You would defend another race instead of your own?! Especially your fellow Pure-Blooded Devils for some nobody!?"

He was about to continue his rant when Lord Sitri spoke. "That person of another race is currently a future family member. He will end up becoming Lord Sitri with Sona being Lady Sitri, and therefore holds far more sway in his current state to me, than some 3rd son with an ego from a family that has better people in it than you, Riser." It got so silent you could hear a pen drop. "So yes, I am defending him over you, Riser Phenex." He says with finality and stares him down, daring him to argue.

Riser grit his teeth so hard that they cracked and regenerated as he stared at me, the rest of his peerage still standing at attention in different moods of displeasure. I gave a whistle and spoke. "So that is what the Phenex regeneration looks like? 2 out of 10 at best. You heard Lord Sitri you discarded rooster... go crow at someone else's table, before you do something you will regret."

He narrowed his eyes and looked around the room, all eyes were on him and he realized that he most likely lost this battle this time. He was about to leave when I spoke again. "Drag your family name through the dirt with you on your way out. Honestly all your family is known for is those damn tears so I guess they're all good at crying and throwing fits like you." I say with a shrug and Sona looked at me as I goaded Riser on more.

Riser ended up taking the bait and then I found myself engulfed in a flame that obscured me from view at that very moment. I heard the roar of a flame as my vision was matted orange. "Good to know that it doesn't bother me with the environmental effects too, when I use Phantasmal Form." I then walked out of the flames , completely unharmed as I looked at him with a smirk. "You must have gotten cold feet, because those flames felt like an air conditioner giving me a comfortable breeze."

The Sitri family had mixed reactions. Lady Sitri was watching intently as she sipped from her wine that she ordered. She was looking me up and down and smiled satisfied at seeing that I really was unmarred. Lord Sitri wore a large grin as he watched the show, but Sona, and the rest of the Student Council, looked shocked. Sona and Momo were even... crying? I looked over to them and turned off my flames as I pat Sona's head. "This won't take long, after I finish this we can all get back to dinner." She nodded dumbly as she was still looking for anymore damages. I just gently squeezed her shoulder. "Stop crying already. It is distracting, and I ain't good at handling crying women. You too Momo, the tears just don't fit either of you." They looked to each other and then dried their tears and just sat back and watched.

After smiling to them I then turned to Riser and seen him gaping like a fish at the casual dismissal of his flames and presence. I then walked right in front of him and got about a few inches from him. I gave a smirk and then grabbed Tsubasa's water and dumped it on his head, doing what he did to me to start this off. "Thought I would return the favor. I am gonna be returning the fire pillar to you as well, but after I get a few punches in first. Speaking of which." I then clock him in the jaw and knock a tooth out, then follow it up with a knee to the gut, and finally I grab his face and slam it on a glass chalice, watching as the glass punctures his skin.

He reels back from the sudden assault and he then goes to throw a punch at me as well. It was so telegraphed I had no need to use Phantasmal Form and instead just moved around his fist. He threw a few more and I danced around them like I was tapdancing. I got behind him and then kicked him in the ass and pushed him forward. He landed on the ground and a few tables of Devils laughed at him. "Can we get some music for this? Come on I know they have to someone here good with an instrument. I'd hate to string him up into a guitar or something." I said as I pointed a finger at Riser and that got an uproar of laughter.

Riser's peerage just stood there and watched, not believing how I am manhandling him and, honestly, I expected him to have a bit more fighting experience than this. His punches are good, don't get me wrong, but I have been fighting and killing for a long time. Even a pro is gonna be easy for me and that isn't counting my Unarmed Fighting being at level 66 now. Been getting in a lot of training since I let Sona and them take over a good bit of hunting for me.

He then came forward and then tried to grab me, but I grabbed his wrist and twisted it. A snapping sound was heard as I forced him to the ground by his forearm. Riser let out a growl of anger at me as I kept his wrist turned the wrong way so it won't heal. "You know what makes this extra special Riser? I am just a human." His eyes widen marginally and so does his peerage. "You're beyond weak... you're pathetic in fact. You talked all of that crap and yet you can't even force me to kneel to you with force." I put my foot on the back of his head and rub his face into the floor. "Honestly you aren't even worth my flames." I kicked him and then let go of his wrist so it can heal. I then started to walk away from him as I made my way to the table to sit once again.

As I did I felt the heat of a large ploom of fire behind me and I turned in time to raise my own wall of blue flames that blocked his entirely. They ate his flames and added them to my wall of fire and when I dropped it I then condensed the fire into my fist and walked towards him slowly. He then threw more and I would just disperse it with my own as I got closer. He backed up more and more as I then stood before him and cocked back my fist. I was about to follow through when my hand, and arm froze in ice.

"Da Dadadaaaaa~ Miracle Levia-Tan is here to save the dayyyyy!" I looked over to the source of the voice and seen a girl with twin tails in a pink magical girl outfit with a heart-shaped wand. I actually stopped what I was doing and went to a table that had a cup of water. She followed me with a curious gaze the whole time and I made a motion to the water. The Devil handed it to me and I splashed a little in my face and then looked back at the Magical girl.

"Huh? So I am not actually dreaming, or am on drugs. Who the hell is this, Sona?" I then flare my flames and melt the ice on my arm into steam.

"Ohhhhhh~! You melted my ice so easily! You have to be super strong, huh? You even have the look of a good villain too. Can you star in my show?! You would make a great villain and it'll be a singing ro-"

"No." I cut her off and she pouts while the rest of the room goes silent and some try to mind their own business. "What I would like to do is get back to beating the breaks off of the pompador over there." I point at Riser. "So if you don't mind..."

"Actually I do." She says and drops all the funny business with her words. Then she starts right back up again. "I watched everything already so I know you didn't throw the first hit, but now that I am here I am putting a stop too it now, Lu-tan." She then pats my head and then motions me to the table with Sona.

I look over to Sona and she nods at me to come over. "Huh... who woulda thought a Devil big shot was quirky like this?" I rubbed my head and then tried to salvage my hair that was soaked and now frazzled from the heat like a bad perm. "Whatever... have fun with the fire chicken then." I say as I head over there and the Magical Girl then smiles and cheerily skips to Riser.

As I am walking I get a sudden chill as the temperature drops and I turn around to see that the magical girl is no longer cheerful and is looking with contempt. "How dare you? How dare you encroach on my family and judge them like the words of a 3rd son mean anything to us? How dare you then attack my little So-tan's fiance?" Riser looks like he is scared and then slowly backs up. The magical girl walks forwards towards him. "All of the damages will be paid for by the Phenex Family and a payment of 20,000,000 yen will be paid straight to Luca by tomorrow morning for recompense. If I find that you didn't do this I will come for the Phenex Family for more than you can imagine. Now leave Riser." She says and her voice is cold as the ice she weilds. That is... honestly attractive. Man my head is fucked up.

I finally end up sitting back down at the table with Sona and her family, only to get tackle hugged by the magical girl. As I hit the ground my head hits the corner of a table and my vision goes a little woozy. I then feel myself pulled into the breasts of this crazy Devil as she starts frantically telling me it will be alright. "You're okay! Oh thank goodness, and you took care of that mean old Riser, but don't worry Lu-tan! Big sis Sera-tan will make it all better for you!"

"Sister! Stop acting like this! You must set an example for all of Devil kind as the Satan Leviathan!" Sona yells and then moves to rip her off of me. I wrestle the girl off as well, but it was very difficult. I honestly forgot about my ability to go insubstantial, but it all worked out in the end.

I took a large breath and then glared at the small girl and she gave a small pout to Sona and then me. "You're joking..." I then see that attention has returned to me. "THIS is the Satan Leviathan?" I say with disbelief.

Sona nods, but the girl, Sera I think, stands up and then does a twirl. "YEP! That is me, the Miracle Levia-tan! You can call me big sis Sera-tan though Lu-tan!" She all but squealed at me.

I facepalmed and then stood up and made my way back to the table. I sat and then blankly asked. "What is the drinking age in hell?" I received a few chuckles from Lord and Lady Sitri and when they answered... I ordered the strongest drink I could in hopes to forget this encounter.

Sona rubbed my back while we all talked and Serafall joined us as she was meant to. I found out what survive meant when she told me that if she disapproved of me that she was gonna freeze me so fast my heart would stop. I apparently passed a test she had when I put my wants for the Phenex tear to the side in favor of Sona. She was thoroughly impressed with me taking on Riser as well. Apparently me doing so and with such ease, well it most likely would have unforeseen consequences for the Phenex family and made a powerful statement. I smiled at that and enjoyed the praise while getting pretty buzzed.

I am actually looking forward to getting married if this means I can have moments like this. It... I miss this more than I ever thought I did. For tonight I was able to think clearly and I have a lot I need to do before I can settle down. I plan on taking Sona on some dates to get to know her a lot more and make something out of this. I have never felt so good in my life for a long time.

After today Sona said she was going to be doubling the lookout for Freed and then Valper. She was gonna use her family resources to make sure I got what I wanted for doing all this for her. I could have walked away, and because I didn't and still took up for her she says she may have developed a crush right there on me. I teased her and she pinched me, but I gotta say that it felt nice to hear that.

I ended up falling asleep with a smile on my face and I had some nice dreams as I did so.
