The Third King of Kuoh Academy
Chapter 19
"Oh sweet Satan…where am I? I feel like I've been asleep for a couple months." I muttered tiredly as my eyes forced themselves open. The feeling of just waking up began to sit in as I rose from my bed and rubbed my face lazily. "What happened with the girls last night?" I asked worriedly before fully opening my eyes and almost falling out of bed from the shock. "AH! What are you all doing in here!?" I yelled and jumped to my feet on the bed like a woman who just saw a mouse.
On the bed around me were all of my older servants, sprawled out all over the sheets. "And why do none of you have decent clothes on!?" I yelled again and they finally started coming to. "Can you please not yell this early Master?" Aria pleaded as she rose to her hands and blinked a few times. "Yeah Varian, give it a rest. We were up all night taking care of you." Brittany chimed in from my right, making me jump again. My Queen's sudden appearance made me stumble, trip over what I know had to be someone's exposed boobs, and fall out of bed and onto my butt on the floor. "Nothing like waking up to your Master touching your chest." Violet joked as she stretched and sat up, "You okay Varian?" She teased and peered over the bed at me.
"Yeah…I'm finnneeeee!" I yelled as a sudden burst of blood sent my head flying back against the carpet floor. "P-p-put some clothes on!" I yelled and pointed up at the stark naked body of my cool and free spirited Knight. She just tilted her head to the side and gave me a confused look, showing every part of her in the process. Her bra was barely hanging onto her right shoulder, so I couldn't even say she had that on, and her hair was knotted and draped all about her face. She honestly looked like she just had a roll in the hay and I really hope I didn't do anything I'm gonna regret last night.
"Fix your bra!" Seraphin yelled before slamming the flat end of her sword into Violet's face. The naked, black haired girl flew back and off the other side of the bed, leaving the angry red head facing away from me and holding a massive sword. I couldn't complain for two reasons, one was the shock of having an amazing butt now right in my face and two was the fact that there was an amazing butt in my face. I should probably give these girls money to go buy some new outfits; Seraphin's red panties look a little tight. After making my mental note, the other girls decided to jump in and ruin my view. "How many times do I have to tell you? No swords during group cuddle time!" Aria yelled in response and sprang to her feet. Both girls were now facing off on my bed and barely wearing anything. At least these two were wearing their bras and panties…for now. Correction, the view just got better. But, being the sweet Master I am, I have to keep things civil. Especially since I don't feel like dealing with them this morning, I'm tired. "Hey you two," I started and the two girls dropped their menacing glares to look over at me, "can we just not fight today please? We have to train for the rating game tomorrow." I said and everyone immediately started to giggle. I took the time that they were laughing at me to wipe the blood from my nose and stand up. "What exactly are all of you giggling at?" I asked. "Silly Master," Aria started and jumped off the bed to wrap her half naked body around my arm, "the rating game is today."
"WHAT!?" I yelled and looked at the girl around my arm in disbelief. "Yes sir. You slept through our last day of training because…" Asheln had started to explain but broke off in a fit of giggles. "What she's trying to say is, we may have ridden you too hard the night before so you ended up sleeping all day." Brittany finished and my jaw dropped. "No way…why don't I remember it if you ran me so hard?" I asked. It was a fair question. When men have amazing nights, they sometimes want to remember them. "Well…" Brittany started before snickering, standing up, and walking by me like nothing had happened. One by one the girls got up and left my room in bras and panties, each one giving me a knowing glance and giggling at me. The last one to get up was Violet, who had been sprawled across the floor on the other side of the room. I looked over just as she got up and started walking over to me. Before I could say anything, she kissed my cheek and whispered "It's better if you don't remember. We did unspeakable things to you." She muttered somewhat seductively and left, not even bothering to fix her bra like Seraphin told her to. Still can't believe she's only a B. They're so nice. My completely normal teenage thoughts were interrupted when I finally registered what she said. "Wait…unspeakable things…" I muttered before looking down at my bare chest and ripped up boxers. "DEAR SWEET SATAN!" I yelled and I know the girls were giggling downstairs.
After a very long and cleansing shower and multiple scary flashbacks to the night before, I went downstairs to see what the plan was. The rating game is today and I really don't know what we're going to do. I was planning on talking to Brittany about it yesterday but apparently, if my flashbacks are correct, she didn't want me talking at all. Guess that's why I was gagging a lot in the shower. I shuddered as I reached the stair way in the foyer and saw all the girls gathered in the center. Each one turned up to me with bright smiles for once. I simply waved back before heading to the left stairwell and sliding down the railing.
"The Master is finally awake!" The younger girls, except Sara, cheered as I reached the foot of the stairs. "Hey girls, did you all train yesterday while I was asleep?" I asked and they all nodded, well except for Sara but that's okay, she doesn't need it. I patted each of them on the head, except for Sara and I think she may be a little upset about it, before moving onto the older girls that are responsible for me not remembering the last twenty four hours. When I approached them I tried my best to stay away from Aria. Why? Because the flashbacks told me things and I don't want her near me for the next two weeks after what I think she did. We stood in the foyer and said our good mornings, after I was given multiple glances that made me shutter, before everyone began to move away. "So Brittany, what's the plan?" I asked as my Queen and I started to head to the kitchen. The others dispersed and went about whatever it is they normally do. I wonder what they actually do…huh? Fair question. Someone should research that and give me a report.
"Well I believe Lord Sirzechs will be here at some point to collect us for the rating game. Do we have a battle plan yet Varian?" She asked and I sighed. "No. I'm not sure how to beat them to be honest. I know all about Riser and his peerage possessing immortality so…what do we do? I know if we take the fire advantage away from them then we'll have an easier time fighting his servants but…he's a different story." I thought out loud and Brittany simply nodded. "And how do we take the fire advantage away from them? Will they let us chose the arena?" She questioned and I nodded. "I believe so, given the circumstances. We have no common ground to fight on and it doesn't seem like there would be reason to not allow us a chose." I answered and sat down in the head dining room chair. Brittany gave me glance before smiling and sitting on my lap. "And to what do I owe this pleasure?" I asked jokingly as I adjusted the girl on my lap. "Oh just shut up and enjoy it. You deserve to enjoy something at my expense after yesterday." She whispered and kissed my head. I shivered at the memory before shaking my head and trying to get back to business.
"So…if we take an arena with a lot of life and water then we will have an advantage. Between you, Tera, Ella, Sara, and Jasmin they won't beat us in elements. And Aria can destroy anyone regardless of what they're using. Violet and Seraphin should be fine I believe." I began listing off my servants and made sure each one would be okay to fight. And of course, Brittany read my mind and started brain storming as well. "I believe that could work. I don't see a problem for me or Ashlen at all and Amy should be just fine if she runs around with the other young ones. Her fire isn't as strong as those from the Phoenix clan but I think it'll be okay." She informed me and I agreed. "I think we just need to pair everyone up into teams and let them fight their fights. No big plan." I suggested and we both nodded in agreement. "Sounds like a great idea darling." Brittany encouraged and, before I could do anything, pecked me on the lips. "You deserve an award you'll actually appreciate." She teased, causing me to shudder once again. "I never want to know what actually happened." I admitted and hung my head. She snickered and rose from my lap. "I'll go make some food for us then." She offered and I smiled. "That's right woman, make me a bacon sandwich and some chocolate milk." I commanded and felt the air around my head start to move. "I will blow the red right out of that pretty black hair if you talk to me like that again." Brittany whispered angrily. "Yes ma'ma!" I called back in pure horror. Luckily the air subsided and I was soon greeted with the smell of cooking food. "Phew. Why did I pick the scariest one to give the most power to?" I asked myself, too scared to even move.
After the two of us had our breakfast, and ended up making some for the rest of the girls, we all sat in the living room and waited. The younger ones were gathered around Sara, who was again playing video games, while the rest of us started going over the plan. "I think I'll trick Riser into giving us an arena that will provide an advantage for us. After that, I believe we'll be okay if we separate into teams and fight our own fights. No big plan that requires perfect executions. I just want you all to be safe and try your best, okay?" I explained and the girls just smiled and nodded. "You try too hard to keep us safe. You know that right?" Brittany added and the others laughed in agreement. "Well I'm sorry that I care!" I yelled and sat on the couch with my arms folded and started pouting. "Oh don't be like that sweetie~" Ashlen sang in my ear as she scooted closer to me on the couch. Her arms felt like a smooth silk cloth as they moved up towards my neck and she began to pull my head towards her shoulder. "He's just doing what he think is best, isn't that right Vary? And he just wants us to be safe and happy." She explained to everyone and wrapped her arms really tightly around me. Then she leaned in really close, her cheek brushing against my ear as she snuggled her head against mine, and whispered "I love it when you take care of us. And I love you Master." She admitted and hugged me tighter, which didn't seem possible. I had to struggle to respond due to the pressure my insanely strong Rook was putting on my lungs. "I love you too Ashlen." I whispered back. Weird, Ashlen is normally the quite one. Today must be an off day or something. Anyway, she gave me one last squeeze before releasing me to address the others again, and they weren't too happy.
I was blushing pretty bad and coughing as the others leaned in with curious expressions. "What's going on here?" Aria asked loudly. "Yeah, you two seemed really close!" Seraphin and Brittany chimed in at the same time. "Noth-Nothing! I promise girls! Calm down!" I screamed in fear as they all moved towards me. "Hm." They all muttered and scooted closer. "What did he say to you Ashlen?" Violet asked as she slid in between the two of us and threw her arms around us. Man she's so chill. "That he loves me of course." Ashlen answered loudly and happily. The next three seconds of my life were filled with terror as every girl in front of me turned and gave me looks that said "Die." "Oh did he now…" Brittany muttered, trying to suppress her anger. "Ah! I'm sorry girls! It was just…uh…don't kill me. We have a big fight today, remember?" I begged and tried to scramble off the couch. However, it was to no avail. Aria and Seraphin restrained me as Violet moved onto my lap. The black haired beauty was straddling me, which would have been great, if not for the two daggers in her hands. "Okay…just please make it quick." I begged and the girls laughed. "When have we ever been quick baby~" Violet sang and I became even more scared. She only talks like that when she is really pissed. I guess I did bad again. Sara and the other young ones never even turned around, no matter how much I screamed. And Ashlen just sat on top of the couch and watched my torture in amusement. Well good for her.
A few hours later, there was a knock at the door and I struggled to get up and answer it. I opened the door and was a bit freaked by the appearance of the great devil lord Sirzechs at my door step. "Well hey Sirzechs, what brings you here?" I asked and the young devil lord looked me over before busting out laughing. "Wh-what happened to you!?" He asked between laughs, causing me to facepalm. "My girls got a little upset this morning…and did this." I answered and gestured to the torn up t-shirt and cuts all along my body. "I like them! Hopefully you didn't tire them out, because you still have a rating game to win." Sirzechs announced, when his laughing fit finally came to an end, and I smiled. "I think they'll be just fine." I responded and turned around, looking up at the top of the foyer staircase. Standing there was my incredibly powerful, beautiful, and amazing peerage and ten girls I'd die for at a moment's notice. Each one wearing a regular outfit, their weapons in hand, and ready to go. "Isn't that right girls?" I asked and they all cheered. "I think we're ready, lead the way Master." I told the crimson haired devil lord and bowed before him. The young man smiled warmly and put a hand on my shoulder. "Right this way." He said kindly, and suddenly there was a flash and I was falling.
We reappeared outside of the Gremory manor, a huge building, and it took me a minute to take in my surroundings. Sirzechs and I were standing at the steps of the Gremory manor, the devil lord already climbing the steps ahead of me, and there were tons of carriages all around the grounds behind me. I flipped around and gazed at the massive grounds that were under my old master's control. "Dude…throwback Thursday. Even though it isn't Thursday. What day is it? Ah, who cares? I missed this place so much!" I screamed and jumped around on the steps while Sirzechs just chuckled behind me and waited. When I was finally finished having my moment, I turned around and blushed at him. "I just miss home okay." I muttered and walked forward with my head down. "Home misses you too Varian." Sirzechs added as he followed me inside.
"So why did you bring me back to your manor? And where are my girls? Are we meeting Riser for the pre-rating game ceremony or whatever you guys do?" I asked and Sirzechs just looked at me like I was an idiot. "Varian…nobody does that. I just brought you here to meet with Riser and a few other people to talk for a couple minutes before the game starts. Get some publicity ya know? Nothing formal like what you're thinking. Why are you talking about a ceremony?" He asked and chuckled as I started walking faster. "No reason…shut up!" I called over my shoulder. "Do you even know where you're going? Everyone is in the dining hall." Sirzechs called and I just giggled. "I know this place like the back of my hand. Calm down old man." I teased and sprinted off down the hallways of my childhood.
"And the dining hall is…not this one…or this one…here we are!" I yelled when I finally found the huge oak doors that marked the dining hall. I sighed and took a deep breath before opening the doors, preparing for whoever was on the other side. Of course they're probably going to dislike me but hey, I think this will go okay. I put on a brave smile and pushed open the door. "Hello everyone, the world's youngest high class devil of pure awesomeness has arrived. Please, hold the applause." I announced as I stepped into the dining room, which I found out moments later was crowded, and raised my hands in victory. "Varian!" A familiar female voice yelled. I didn't want to believe it and I really didn't want who I thought that was to be there, but as my eyes scanned the room they fell on a pair of beautiful blue eyes, crimson hair, and an amazing figure. "I'm so happy you're home!" Rias yelled and sprang from her seat. "Shit…" I muttered and did the only thing I could think of. I took a few steps back and shut the big doors so she couldn't get to me.
"Hopefully that will hold her off for a few minutes until I can gather my thoughts, or at least until Sirzechs or my girls get here. Yeah, option two sounds a little better." I muttered to myself and walked back down the hall, looking for Sirzechs. I reached the stairs that connected the main entrance foyer to the main hallway of the manor, and saw my old Master just getting up the stairs. They have a really big entryway. Like…really big. "So…there are a lot of people in there. And, your sister." I informed him, hoping this was all a big misunderstanding and he would be shocked. I was wrong. "Of course. This is a rating game for her hand in marriage. Why wouldn't she be here?" He asked and looked at me like I was an idiot…again. "Dude! Me and her don't get along. She is the last person I want to deal with today!" I responded angrily. I'm trying to focus on fighting an immortal high class devil that shoots hellfire when he snaps, I'm kinda preoccupied today. Dealing with her truck load of drama isn't in my to-do list. "Well if you feel that way, then how about we call off this silly little game…servant." A smug male voice sounded from behind me. "Okay, I meant second person I didn't want to deal with today." I muttered as I turned to face the poster boy of the Phenex house. "Hello Riser. Pleasure seeing you today. Is that a new maroon jacket?" I greeted the blonde man sarcastically. "Why yes, yes it is. My parents wanted me to look good when I wipe the floor with you and your hideous peerage. Where are they by the way? Normally I can smell ugly sluts from a mile away." He responded and I balled my fist. Don't punch him. Don't punch him. Not yet. Later.
"Well I'm sure you know the smell very well sir, since you live in the stench. Speaking of smelly sluts, where is your peerage my good man? I would quite like to see my competition, no matter how easy to beat they will be." I shot back and the blonde devil just smirked. Wonder if Sirzechs is enjoying this. I shot a glance over my shoulder to see the young devil lord smiling and giggling into his hand. Wow. And he's a mature ruler of our society. Awesome. "My beautiful girls…" Riser interjected, "are right here. And, as you can see, I have a full set." He answered and snapped his fingers. Suddenly there was a burst of hellfire at the foot of the stairs and, when it dissipated, revealed fifteen gorgeous girls.
"Well…shit." I muttered as I looked them over. I could guess every single one of their pieces by their levels of magical power, and I didn't like what I found out. There were eight pawns, three of which didn't look very powerful and were dressed like maids. Kinky. And two others were small, green haired girls with chainsaws. Even more kinky. Then there were two girls dressed as cats with what looked like slutty cheerleader outfits, one with blue hair and the other with a dark red. Wonder if I could get one of the girls to dress up like them one day…I'm gonna regret that thought when they get here. And the last pawn, and probably the most powerful, was a small girl with light blue hair in two buns wearing a red jacket with a stick. A very painful looking stick.
I caught Riser smirking at me while I looked over his even stronger pieces. I still think my girls can take them but…they look pretty rough. His two Rooks looked like knock-outs, in more ways than one. The first one had half a skull on her face, which was freaky and cool, along with some sort of small army jacket that showed her mid rift, a running them in the Riser peerage apparently, and shorts. Her hair was sandy brown with a red strand running through it, and her face just looked mean. All of these girls look really mean to be honest. Then the other Rook looked like Chun Li from street fighter basically. Gotta hand it to him, he's got good taste in fighting game characters.
Riser's Knights looked equally as dangerous as all the other members so far. Both were wearing a lot of armor and looked stone faced and determined. I'll never see my Violet acting like that, but Seraphin has that exact look, down to every detail. One Knight was taller, had a long dark blue ponytail, and had a huge sword on her back. The other was a bit shorter with dirty blonde hair and a wide assortment of swords and daggers on her. The Bishops didn't really look that bad. One had long black hair and was wearing a Kimono, she honestly didn't look like much of a threat. But the other Bishop seemed much more interesting…she looked like Riser.
"That's my little sister, Ravel." Riser informed me with a smug grin. He's loving that I'm studying his peerage. Probably thinks I'm impressed or something…yeah right. "You let your own sister into your harem? Freak." I responded coldly. To my pleasant surprise, Riser took offense to that. "What did you just call me? Listen up you no good punk servant!" He screamed and moved closer to me, reaching for my collar. I just smiled dumbly and let him grab me, the entire entry hall fell quite as he lifted me up and brought his fist up. "I made her my servant as a favor to the family, so don't you go mouthing off about it. You hear me runt?" He threatened and I just kept smiling, causing him to let a little fire burn my t-shirt. "Okay! Okay! Dude this is a new shirt! Calm down!" I yelled and he dropped me. "Yubelluna. Would you mind teaching this punk just how weak he is?" Riser asked and motioned towards his peerage. Of course the one girl I hadn't noticed yet stepped forward, had to be the Queen.
"Yes Master, right away." Riser's Queen responded. She was a very busty woman with long purple hair, a golden staff, and a tunic that showed her entire chest down the middle. And boy did she have too much make up and lip gloss on. Hello, trying too hard! "Come down here and fight me!" She yelled up at me and I started giggling. I really hope all the girls are together…
"I think I'll let them handle this. Girls, come on out!" I called and snapped my fingers. A small black circle appeared behind me and I cast a quick teleport spell. A few seconds later, a pitch black portal opened up and ten girls stepped out. And I wish they'd known the situation a little better…
"What the hell Varian!" Brittany yelled as soon as she stepped out of the portal. "You disappear all of a sudden and then summon us! How many times have I told you to NOT do that?!" She ranted and hit me on the head with her wind staff. "Brittany…calm down please?" I begged, rubbing my head. "Master! I missed you!" Aria yelled and ran at me from behind Brittany. I was then tackled at the top of the stairs and my Rook began squeezing the life out of me. "You dissapared out of no where and it scared me. And Brittany got mad. But don't worry, I'll take care of you." She informed me and I started to sweat. Oh man…they're so embarssing sometimes.
"Hey Vary. What's the battle plan again?" Violet asked as she stepped up behind Brittany, the other girls in toe. "How did you forget in like ten minutes?!" Seraphin chimed in and knocked Violet on the head with her huge sword. "Just stick with me, okay?" She asked and Violet nodded sadly, rubbing her head. "Master~" Amy sang as she and the other young girls walked in, "who are all these people?" She asked. Amazing that she would be the first one to notice the other people. "Oh. Well…" Brittany muttered, finally realizing the other people around us as well. Brittany's grumbling made Aria perk up her ears and lift her head from my chest for a brief moment before tightening her grip and snuggling back into me. "Where did all these people come from Master? Who are they?" The purple haired girl asked quietly. Ugh. I hope they don't blow up when I explain it to them.
"Aria, can you get off me first?" I asked and my Rook jumped off as quickly as she could, immediately running behind Ashlen afterwards. I stood up and brushed off my shirt, catching Riser's smug grin out of the corner of my eye. "Your peerage is just a bunch of Mongrels, exactly like I thought." He said mockingly and my face fell. "Just shut up and let's get this show on the road." I muttered in return. "Varian…?" Brittany whispered to herself and took a step forward towards me. "Just stay back for a second Brittany. I'll handle this." I told her, and for once, she listened. "Ah. So what will it be servant? Do you wish to fight me one on one right now? Or perhaps, you really just want to lose a rating game and injure your peerage that badly?" Riser asked smugly. I was turned away from him, looking down at his peerage again while he spoke, but jerked my head towards him at the mention of my girls. I felt my nostrils flare and I bit my lip as I stepped forward. I could feel my knuckles turning white as I clenched my fist, ready to knock this smug blond douche off the balcony and into his harem of big breasted puppets. But I didn't.
"Riser. We are having this rating game. In the Isle of the Blessed. Right now." I declared. My face was an inch away from his. "And if you talk about my girls or go too far in this game, I will make you wish you could die." I muttered quietly so only he could hear. To my satisfaction, his smug grin left and he actually looked serious. "I accept your terms Slave. But don't get too confident. You know enough about me to know I'm unbeatable. Rias will be mine and you will be dead, understand?" He whispered back and I actually smiled. "Whatever helps you sleep at night Riser. I'll see you on the battlefield." I finished and started to back away. When the adrenaline finally started to subside, I felt the tension in the room. Both of our peerages were ready to jump in and fight at the drop of a hat, and even Sirzechs looked afraid. I could only do one thing. I bowed before the young devil and walked back over to my girls, relief washing over all of us. "Oh, and one more thing Mister Blackflame." Riser called as my girls and I began to walk down the main hall. "When I win, your girls become mine. And if they don't do what I say, I kill them." Riser announced, his smile looked like pure evil.
I don't think I'll ever fully remember the few seconds that followed me hearing his decree. I remember my girls yelling and being afraid, my body filling with rage, and the incredible pain of his Queen stepping between us. I rushed Riser, not even thinking, my fist drawn back and smoldering with black flames. The blonde man just put his hands in his pockets and waited until I was two steps from him. I could hear Sirzechs yelling for me to stop, but I was too close. I leaped into the air and shot down towards him with all my strength until I felt my body go limp. I started flying away as a huge bomb exploded next to my chest. I flew through the air before smashing into the wall of the main hallway, cracking it and sending a shake through the entire house. I looked up from the ground and saw Riser's Queen landing beside him with a sadistic grin on her face and her staff glowing a bright purple. Riser cupped her chin, whispered something in her ear, and then started to walk towards me as she walked back down the stairs. His evil grin made me shudder as I tried to push myself up to my feet.
"She hits pretty hard." I muttered as I tried to get up from all fours. The whole time Riser just stood there, grinning and watching me. I finally got to my feet and started to wobble around when I felt the blood leaking out of my chest. It wasn't anything major, but I know it hurt and I was losing blood. I turned to my girls and mouthed "run and don't fight. I'll be okay." before turning back to Riser. I brought up my fists, both starting to lick at the air with fire, and just stood there, waiting. The young blonde devil just pulled his hands out of his pockets and grabbed my throat, his hands moving a lot quicker than I could keep up with. "Pathetic." He muttered and brought his fist, which was now completely alight with hellfire, and got ready to knock me the rest of the way through the wall. "You need to go cool your head little devil. You're out of your league, and you know it. You don't care about Rias or anyone else here for that matter, so just crawl back in your hole and get the hell away from my new wife and family. Or next time, this punch will be a lot harder." He threatened, venom leaking out of his mouth with every word. I just looked back at him, not wavering for a second, and thought about my girls. My girls. "Riser" I started, causing the blonde to lean in. "Screw you. And by the way…that jacket makes you look like a tool." I muttered back and grinned, waiting for him to punch me. And boy did he.
I flew through the wall and stayed in the air for a while longer, my body to numb to figure out where I was. That Queen must have cast some powerful explosion spell or something to make me weak like this. I landed in a heap in another hallway and felt myself starting to pass out. "Damnit." I muttered. "I can't quit now. I'm not going to quit now." I tried to will myself to get up but I couldn't move a single part of my body. Next thing I know, I passed out. My head lolled to the side just as my girls rounded the corner, trying to wake me up.
