Magical Devils
Chapter 3 – The Basics of a Devil
Kazuki and Yuna are heading to the old school building, while Chihaya caught up to them not long after. Earlier on, they and Kuriko and Rin had to run away from their fans as they received love letters from them every 5 minutes. Now, when I mean every 5 minutes, I mean by every 5 minutes ever since they entered the main school building for the second time. "Wow, I didn't know that we were THIS popular," sighed Chihaya. "Me neither. This is a first for me for not only being popular, but being noticed and respected by everyone," said Kazuki, getting a BUNCH of love letters, only to be burned to ashes by Yuna, and even from her own love letters, but they know that this is FAR from over.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the Occult Research Club, where Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Yuuto, Kuriko, and Rin are already there. "You're late," said Rias. "Sorry about that, President," said Kazuki. "We had to go through a wave of love letters." "Love letters?!" asked Rias, surprised. "Ara ara. We went through the same thing when we got here for the first time," said Akeno. "Especially me," said Yuuto. "I also got a lot myself, and so did Rin," said Kuriko. "What are love letters?," asked Elizabeth, who came out of Kuriko's large chest with her school uniform intact. "It's a romantic way to express feelings of love in written form from someone," Kuriko answered.
Kazuki then notices Rin being silent, and he can understand her being silent. Earlier back at Aoi Academy, Rin had feelings for someone else, and she asked Kazuki, Kuriko, and Yuna for help on making lunch for him. After a good 3 hours, she finally completed making her lunch through trial and error. Unfortunately, she tripped on something (I don't know what it was) and her lunch was about to be ruined, but Kazuki used his magic to turn time back to a point where the lunch is perfectly made. Rin was surprised that Kazuki would use his magic to protect her lunch that she made for hours. However, all of that was for naught as the person she once loved had to move (and later turn to ashes, I'm not sure), and Rin was very upset, but quickly turned to shock as Kazuki ate her lunch and described on how terrible it was, but for some reason, Rin felt happy and began to develop feelings for him.
"Now that we're done with that," said Rias, "let's begin the meeting. Kazuki, as you know by now, you are now one of my new servants. But you know, there are ranks among Devils. It's something called peerage. I also have one. The place of your birth and your family background plays a big role in it, but in this case, a major role with your ancestors; however, there are also Devils who has risen up. Everyone starts off as a novice first." Rias went a little closer to Kazuki, but Yuna and Chihaya silently told her to back off. "Now, thanks to the notice of love letters, all of you are popular, and there is a way to increase your popularity."
"How?," asks Elizabeth. Rias answered, "Majority of the pure Devils were killed in the war that took place long time ago. Because of that Devils started to desperately gather servants. Well, Devils don't have the strength or the influence they originally had when they leaded their armies. Even so, we need to keep on increasing the number of the Devils. Just like humans, the Devils split in genders of male and female and are able to give birth. But even with normal birth, it will take a lot of time to get back to the same population as before. After all, Devils have a very low birth rate. Then we won't be able to stand up against the Fallen Angels. So we find humans who seem to have potentials and make them into Devils. As our servant, that is." "Kazuki is your servant, I suppose?," asked Yuna, still having a little, but still deadly killer intention. Same goes to Chihaya, Rin, and Kuriko.
"Oh, don't make a face like that, girls," said Rias, trying to calm them down. "Now, I will get to the point. Since this only increases the number of servants, it doesn't increase the number of powerful Devils. So the Devils decided to give chances for power reincarnated Devils— those who were reincarnated from a human. They decided to give peerage to reincarnated Devils as well as long as they are powerful. Because of that, there are many Devils in humans' society. There are also numbers of Devils like myself who came to humans' society as well. Kazuki, even though you or your friends haven't realized it yet, I'm sure you have passed through some Devils in this town."
"So Devils were always nearby then!?," asked Rin, gripping her sword tighter.
"Yes," answered Rias quickly. "Though there are humans who can distinguish which ones are Devils and those who can't. A person with a strong greed or a person who wants to get help from Devils usually can distinguish us strongly. We are usually summoned by the ones who can distinguish between them, through the leaflet with magic-circle that we give out. There are people like you, Kazuki, who can distinguish Devils but don't believe in our existence, but majority of them usually believe it if they see our demonic-powers."
"So that means Kazuki summoned you because we all wanted to bring back Kazuki to life after he used his magic for the last time," said Kuriko. "Yes. Not only that, but this is such a rare find for me. The reason why is because you, Kazuki, wanted to help out people, and not even thinking about yourself, and even trying to sacrifice your life to save Yuna. I'm very pleased with you," said Rias, who is now very interested in him. Kazuki laughed lightly and scratched the back of his head. "Thanks, President."
"Fufufu. Ara ara, it looks like we have a very polite and very cute brother," said Akeno, resulting deadlier killer intents from Yuna, Rin, Kuriko, and Chihaya. "Oh my. It looks like I may have teased too much." "You sure did!" yelled Kuriko, suddenly dropping herself on Kazuki, catching her with his arms. "Besides, Kazuki has me, right?," she asked, pressing her breasts on his chest, making Rias and Akeno a little jealous. Even Koneko narrowed her eyes as she too, felt a little jealous, but said nothing. Yuna pulled Kuriko off as she got very ticked. "Kazuki is mine!" yelled Yuna. "Kazuki is mine, too!" yelled Chihaya. Then sparks ignited between Yuna and Chihaya, but eventually, they calmed down. Rin quickly went to Kazuki's back and pinched his cheek, and quickly went back to the other sofa. "That hurts…," said Kazuki, as Chihaya used her ice magic to quickly heal Kazuki's injuries.
"Impressive," said Rias. "So you can use magic." "Ara ara. I already sensed magic within all these girls, as well as Kazuki," said Akeno. "I still have magic in me?!" asked Kazuki. "Yes. When I resurrected you, most of your magic came back, and you can use as long as you want," said Rias. Kazuki couldn't believe it. Back then, he only had 8 uses of magic, but after Rias resurrected him, he now feels lighter, and can use magic in any way he wants. He was speechless for a few minutes, and Kazuki's friends all breathed a sigh of relief. "However, you should not use your magic in front of humans. All of you will need to keep that a secret," warned Rias. They all nodded.
"Now, let's get to business. Kazuki, you and your friends are going to hand out leaflets at nighttime, because Kazuki is now stronger during the night. Since this Academy is my territory, you should have no problem. Then, I'll tell you all where we'll go from there. Understood?"
"Yes, President," said Kazuki. [Yes, Buchou], said Yuna, Chihaya, RIn, Kuriko, and Elizabeth.
** Cut to Nighttime**
Rias told Kazuki and the girls to go off in separate ways in order to make the process go faster. Kazuki forgot to ask Rias about his 2 Sacred Gears that came out the other day, but he'll ask about that later. Then, he quickly sensed something. He felt as if he was being followed, and felt a little nervous, but he decided to run as quickly as he could.
{Go Left} boomed a deep voice that was enough for Kazuki to hear. He quickly responded being sideswiping to the left, just in time to avoid of what it looks like to be a spear. "Is that a…" Kazuki said before being interrupted by the booming voice again.
{Go Right} and Kazuki did so to avoid another spear in seconds. What Kazuki saw next scared the sh*t out of him. He looked up at the sky and saw 2 people flying: A middle-aged man wearing a violet trenchcoat over a white dress shirt with a matching ascot, with a black fedora hat, and a young, attractive tall woman with long black hair that fell down to her hips, with black strap-like objects around and under her breasts, a thong-like piece held around her hips by 3 thin straps, gloves that run right up her arms with small lengths of chains around them, shoulder guard-like objects on her shoulders with 3 large spikes sprouting from her right shoulder, and black boots. In other words, a very erotic and revealing clothing. They both show black angel wings on their backs.
"How did you manage to avoid these light spears, little devil?" the man asked curiously. Kazuki stood up quickly and then began to realize that these 2 people are not Angels. "You must be those Fallen Angels!" he shuddered. "Hahahaha!" laughed the young woman. "You are very smart for a puny person like you." "So, it looks like you must be an 'Exiled Devil' running for his life. We'll shall end this quietly," the man said, creating another light spear. "Now die!" said the woman, as she and the man both threw their spears at fast speeds.
Suddenly, his right arm glowed, and a sword began to form. A blue single-edged sword forms, and the name is on the tip of the sword that says "Silfarion" on it. Kazuki wastes no time, and he suddenly took off at lightning speed, just seconds before the light spears hit the ground to where Kazuki once was. "What the -?!," they both said, astonished that he zoomed off in 0.5 seconds, but before they could figure out where he went, Kazuki jumped high up towards them from behind and said, "Take this!", and attacked them from behind, cutting some of their feathers in the process.
"HOW DARE YOU!", the young woman yelled in anger, but then quickly looked at Kazuki's fighting stance. She then looked at his angry face and blushed lightly. She then shook it off, trying not to think what she just did. "Tch. Looks like we got company," the man said as out of nowhere, Yuna, Rin, Kuriko, and Chihaya took their places in front of Kazuki, and they got their magic attacks ready. "Looks like we'll have to retreat for now, but the next time we see you again, your death wishes WILL be granted," said the man, as he and the young woman flew off and disappeared.
Kazuki's sword then disappeared and collapsed to the ground. "KAZUKI!" said the girls as they ran to him and comforted him. A few seconds later, Kazuki woke up. "Are they still here?," he asked. "No, they're gone," said Yuna. "We saw you attack those 2 creeps and it was so cool!" said Chihaya. "Even I'm amazed to see you attack them with that sword," said Rin, who now changed her mind about Kazuki's unskillful talents. "Oh, I wish I could sedu- I mean hug you," said Kuriko, pouting. "But I got here a little too late." "Well, we need to get back to the 'dorms' and get some rest," said Yuna. Now, normally they would use magic to easily go back, but since Rias told them not to use it around this area, they had to walk back, but it wasn't much a big deal. They could sure use the exercise.
** Dr. Akai's room **
"You're kidding, right?" asked Dr. Akai, on the phone with someone. (voice mumbling) "Looks like Kokabiel is really going all out this time." (voice mumbling) "Looks like I need to let Kazuki and the others know." (voice mumbling) "Very well. It's been a long time since we talked like this, Azazel." (voice mumbling) "Right. I'll do that tomorrow. Bye." He hung up the phone, and drifts to sleep, knowing that the time will arrive soon….
** Next Morning **
"D-d-d-Dr. Akai! How did you get here?!", asked Kazuki, who is alone with the doctor in his new clinic. "I heard word about your resurrection with Rias, so me and my sister decided to transfer here as well," said Dr. Akai. "Also…" he pulled out of his special eye lens and looked at Kazuki, and what he saw next stuns him. "I don't believe it. You have 30,000,000,000 uses of magic left?! This Rias must have done something to give you such clean bill of health!" "Really?!" asked Kazuki, not believing it himself. "Yes. I have never seen anything like this before. But this brings up the reason why you're here. Remember two people that tried to attack you last night?" "Yes," Kazuki answered. "Those were Fallen Angels, and you need to be extra careful, which goes with the others as well. The Fallen Angels are now out to get you, so can claim those Sacred Gears that you have." He then takes out another pair of eye lens and examines his 2 arms.
"So, on your left is the Boosted Gear, and on your right is the Ten Commandments Sword. Unbelievable."
"How's it unbelievable?" Kazuki asks. "Well," Dr. Akai began. "Boosted Gear is one of the rarest gears of all. So rare, that it's is one of the Thirteen Longinus that is so powerful, that it can kill a God. And that's not all. The Ten Commandments Sword is a powerful broadsword that forms up to 10 different swords with such incredible powers, and some of those swords can be fused to create an even more powerful sword that even the most powerful Devils, Angels, and even those Fallen Angels can be easily defeated."
"Wait. You knew about those 3 factions?" Kazuki asked. "Yes," Dr. Akai answered. "Let's just say that an old friend of mine called me not too long ago and told me everything about it, and needless to say, I became very interested. Now, I believe the time for talk is over for now, but I may ask you to come by again. By then, my sister will be here assisting me." "Thanks, Dr. Akai," said Kazuki, heading off to the old building.
** At the Occult Research Club **
Entering, Kazuki found the room was dark, the windows covered to stop the light, the others were already there and the only light in the room came from the various candles spread out on the floor. Heading over to the others, Rias has finished making a magic circle in the middle of the room before turning to look at him as she spoke "You're here. Akeno, let's get ready for the next process."
"Yes, Buchou. Kazuki, please sit here in the middle of the magic circle."
He complied, wondering what would happen as he looked back as Rias spoke with a smile "Kazuki, your work of giving out leaflets for a few days is finished now. Well done…Now you can start your job as a Devil professionally."
Kazuki seemed to perk up, interested as he spoke, "Oh! So now I can make contracts?"
"Yes, that's right. Though, since it's your first time, it's going to be a contract with someone with a small wish. Yuuto received two contracts beforehand. Since it's hard to do both, I will leave one to you." Rias spoke with a nod before Yuuto spoke up as he smiled.
"I'll leave it to you, Kazuki." Kazuki nodded as he replied, "Alright, Yuuto."
Turning back to Akeno, Kazuki found himself curious about what she was casting before the magic circle started emitting blue and white lights, opting to stay quiet in case he distracted her.
"Akeno is inserting your carved seal into the magic circle, Kazuki," Rias explained. While all this was happening, Yuna was getting more and more jealous. Maybe it's because Akeno and Rias were talking to him more, or maybe it's because they are doing something to Kazuki, but Yuna decided not to show it.
Rias then explained, "Kazuki, put your palm towards here." Sticking his left hand towards her, Kazuki watched as Rias starts to write something on his palm with her fingers. From what he could feel she was drawing something like a circle on his hand before his palm started to glow with a blue and white magic circle on his hand.
"This magic seal is used for transportation, and it can transport you to the client's place instantly. And when the contract is finished, it lets you return to this room." Rias explained looking at him as Kazuki nodded understandingly as he looked at the circle for a few moments before Rias looked up as she spoke, "Akeno, are you ready?"
"Yes Buchou." Akeno stepped out of the magic circle before Kazuki pulled himself back to his feet awaiting his next instruction from his crimson haired master.
"Now stand in the middle of it." Doing as asked, Kazuki looked down at the magic circle as it started to glow blue, feeling the power coming from it inside his body.
"The magic circle is responding with the client. Now you are going to be transported to that location. You already have the manual for what to do after getting transported right?," Rias asked as Kazuki took a calming breathe before answering, "Yes…" "Good…Now get going," Rias spoke with a relaxing smile which seemed to calm Kazuki down a bit, but not before seeing jealous looks of Yuna, Kuriko, Rin, and Chihaya. Noticing the magic circle glow brighten around him, he closed his eyes as he waited to be transported, light covering his body as he disappeared.
** At the client's place **
"Wait a minute. You're not Yuuto!" spoke a mature young girl. "However, you do look kind of cute…" "Thanks…" said Kazuki, feeling a little shy before regaining his composure. "Anyways, I used this leaflet to wish for a handsome young devil, but since you're cute, this will have to do," said the girl, who has a good body for her age: breasts that almost as big as Kuriko's, medium-length orange hair, and a nice plump butt.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" asks Kazuki. She took a moment to think it over, appraising his appearance as she pouted before speaking "I guess there is one thing you could do…" Kazuki waits for her request. Then she asks, "Can you help me bathe?"
…
'WHAT?!' he thought. 'She wants me to bathe with her?! How can I survive this?!' "S-sure…" he said, while he was shivering from the inside-out.
** At the client's bathroom**
"Yes, right there," said the girl, as Kazuki washes her back. Right now, he's shaking like Courage the Cowardly Dog, and his heart is beating faster than someone changing the channels every 5 seconds. A little earlier, the girl actually let Kazuki see her full birthday suit, and did some quick poses to make Kazuki close his eyes and blabber, "Why are you doing this?!" "Because I like to see cute boys like stutter, and besides you can touch me if you want to," she teased. Kazuki then banged his head on the bathtub 5 times to make sure he didn't that last one.
Right now, he's hoping to finish this as soon as possible so he can get the flying freak out of here and back to the classroom. "All right, I'm almost done," said the girl. Kazuki sighed briefly, "Thank goodness." "One more thing…" she said. "Would you please wash my breasts and butt for me?"
…
'AHHHHHHHHHH! This can't be happening!' thought Kazuki as his brain just stopped dead in its tracks. "Well?" asked the girl as her big breasts with her pink nipples jiggled above water, teasing him even more.
"OK…" Kazuki gulped. 'I hope Yuna doesn't kill me after this…'
…
"Ahhn! It feels so good," the girl moaned as Kazuki washed her breasts and her butt slowly as she requested, and he's already suffering a serious nosebleed, and his 'shaft' is not working any better. "Thanks, and hopefully we'll meet again," the girl as Kazuki wastes no time to return.
** Back at the classroom **
Kazuki sighed in relief once he'd stepped off the magical circle, he'd had to help a sexy girl taking a bath, and he is ready to faint right there on the spot, slightly from thinking about the show again.
Kazuki saw Yuuto walking towards him as he asked, "How did it go?"
"Alright…had to… 'help' her while I was her butler," Kazuki answered, thinking about what words to say and NOT to say as the girls were there, too.
"That tends to be the most common things that I do" Yuuto spoke up with smile as Rias headed over to them as she spoke, "You can all head home now and good job Kazuki."
** A few days later **
As Kazuki heads back to the 'dorms' after doing shopping thanks to a lost game of 'Rock, Paper, Scissors', he then a voice going, "Hawaa!" He turned around to find a Sister who was on the floor. Her arms were spread open and it seemed like she fell on the ground on her face, giving him a good view of her cute butt with white panties. Kazuki tried hard not to think of it as he went to check on her. "Uh...are you okay?" he asked, offering his hand to help her up as she moaned, "Aww. Why do I keep on tripping over...Oh, I'm sorry. Thank you very much." Kazuki helped her up easily, the wind sweeping her veil off revealing her blonde straight hair. Kazuki released her hand once she was standing before picking up her veil which was nearby as he spoke, "It's no problem…Are you alright?"
"Yes…," She replied with a friendly smile as she accepted her veil back as Kazuki notices the suitcase near her.
"Are you travelling around by any chance?," Kazuki asked curiously. The blonde Sister shakes her head as she replied bowing her head, "No, that's not it. I was appointed to the church in this town. You must be a resident of this town. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"You too…" Kazuki replied with a smile as she continued putting her hands in front of her chest and looking sadly down
"I was troubled since I got here. Umm I can't speak Japanese that well... I was lost and other people couldn't understand what I was saying..."
'President was right then about this 'language' ability. What did she say again…?' Kazuki thought as he recalled what she'd said….
"When you turn into a Devil, you get a unique ability called "Language". As soon as you turn into a Devil, everyone in the world can understand what you are saying. People listening to you will hear it in the language they are most familiar with. If they are American, then they will hear it in English. If they are Spanish, then they will hear it in Spanish. And the opposite, if they speak in another language, you will hear it in Japanese."
"I think I know where the church is," Kazuki spoke to her, her face brightening as she spoke, "You do? Thank you! This is all thanks to God!"
Kazuki laughed a little bit, but the booming voice a few nights ago came back and told him this:
{Please Go Back}
'Wait, why? I'm trying to help her out,' thought Kazuki.
{I Know It's Your Nature To Help Other People Out, But Consider This As Your Last Warning. Don't Blame Me If Ms. Gremory Or The Others Scold You}
Then the voice disappeared.
"OW!" He turned to see a boy crying as his mother asked, "Are you alright Yoshi?" Kazuki was about to continue till he realized that the Sister wasn't behind him, looking around to see her going towards the boy
"Hey." Kazuki headed after her as she continued talking to the boy, patting his head to calm him, even though he probably didn't understand her.
"Are you okay? Boys shouldn't cry with a minor injury like this." The Sister put her palm where the boy had injured himself, the next moment Kazuki was surprised to see a green orb of light appear from her palm before flashing onto the boy's knee.
'Healing magic?' Kazuki thought as he watched her heal the boy's injuries.
{No…That Is A Sacred Gear} the booming voice answered as she soon finished.
'Amazing,' he thought before noticing that the boy's mother was startled, which made sense given that it was and unimaginable thing to happen.
"Here, your wound's healed. The pain should be gone now." The Sister patted the boy's head and looked at Kazuki.
"I'm sorry. But I had to." Kazuki shook his head understandingly as he spoke, "I understand. I've been through things like that, too," The boy's mother, who was startled before, shook her head then grabbed the boy's hand so they could leave quickly as the boy called back, "Thank you, Sister!"
"He said, 'Thank you Sister'," Kazuki translated. The blonde Sister smiling happily as he asked, "Do you know that power…?"
"Yes, it's the power to heal. It's a special power that God gave me," she replied with a hint of sadness. Kazuki knew on what's she is going through. Back then, at Aoi Academy, he keeps being used, and possibly abused to a point where ends up in the Doctor's office often during his first year.
{You Will Learn Eventually. It Takes Time, So Do Not Trouble Yourself} the booming voice spoke up to reassure him as the two teens continued on their way to the church. Kazuki stops over the road from it as the Sister spoke, "Yes, this is the place! Thank God!" She sighed in relief as Kazuki then notices that the sun is beginning to set as he spoke up, "I better be on my way."
"Please wait," she said, as Kazuki stopped and looked at her again. "I would like to make you some tea..."
"I'm sorry, but I'm in a rush so I have to get going," Kazuki replied with a smile and a shake of his head as she started to sound worried as she spoke, "But that's..." "How about next time? I'm Kazuki Shikimori, but just call me Kazuki. What's your name?," he asked. She smiled as she nodded before introducing herself, "My name is Asia Argento! Please call me Asia!" "Alright then, Sister Asia, I'll see you some other time," Kazuki spoke with a smile as she replied, "Yes Kazuki! I will definitely come and see you!" Asia bowed her head down as Kazuki left giving her a quick wave before the booming spoke up…
{You Are So Going To Get It When You Return To The Classroom}
** And Guess What Happens Next, Folks? **
"Don't ever get close to the Church again," Rias said to Kazuki in the club room, with her expression looked more serious than usual as she continued, "To us Devils, the church is an enemy's territory. Just stepping into it can cause a rift between the Devils and God. Since it was an act of kindness, by taking the nun to the church, they didn't harm you. But the Angels are always on the lookout, and you were in a situation where it wouldn't be strange for them to hit you with a Spear of Light." Kazuki's face paled, he expected that he would be fine given that he was helping Asia find the place but if they would've attacked him for just being near a church, he shuddered at the thought of what could've happened as Rias continued.
"Luckily for you, you have a little bit of blood related to Fallen Angels, and Angels, but don't let that fool you, and don't get involved with people from the Church, especially the Exorcists. They are our biggest enemy. They could easily eliminate us because their powers are supported by the prayer of God. Moreover, if it is an Exorcist with a Sacred Gear, the results would be devastating. Same thing for standing on the boundary of death." She looked seriously into Kazuki's eyes making sure that the magical teen knew it wasn't a joke. Yuna, Rin, Kuriko, and Chihaya had worried looks on their faces, and are very concerned about his safety. Kazuki then replied,"Ri-Right."
"You could avoid death as a human by being resurrected as a Devil, but Devils who are exorcised become completely terminated. They return to nothing. Ashes. There is nothing left and you feel nothing. Do you know how serious that is?," Rias spoke. Kazuki looked shocked back at her, and then was ready to cry before she sighed, "I'm sorry, I got too heated. Anyway, be careful from now on." "Looks like we'll to protect him by joining him, making sure he won't be harmed," said Rin, also with a serious look. Rias felt relieved when Rin and the others would protect Kazuki from danger.
"Oh my, did you finish lecturing him?" Akeno asked with a smile. Yuna and Chihaya tries to calm Kazuki down as Rias asked, "Akeno, did something happen?" The black haired girl's expression changed as she nodded and answered, "We received an order for a hunt from the Arch Duke."
** At an unknown place **
The entire group had come to this place to deal with an Exiled Devil who was luring in humans so it could feed on them.
'I wonder how we're going to hunt Devils…' Kazuki thought.
"Smell of blood..." Koneko spoke up. Kazuki takes a tentative sniff only to find he couldn't smell anything before his eyes widened at the feeling of an enemy presence with intent to kill.
Rias stood at the front of the group, looking reliable with her hands on her hips. Kazuki's eyes doing a quick look at her body before catching himself looking at her slender legs, only to be slapped in the head by Yuna as Rias spoke up, "Kazuki, your friends know how to fight with their magic, but now this is a good opportunity to experience what it's like to fight."
"Really!? I'm not sure I'll be of much use!" said Kazuki.
"Yes. It's still impossible now," she said looking straight at him. Kazuki's eyes flickered sadness for just a moment as she continued, "But you can watch what a Devils' battle is like. Tonight, just concentrate and look at how we fight. Oh, yes. I will also explain the traits the Servants have."
"Traits..?" Kazuki asked. Rias smilied as she nodded, "Devils who become a master give traits to those who will become their Servants. Yes, it's probably about time I explain about it and the history of Devils as well..."
From then, she started to explain the current situation of the Devils to her new servant and his friends, with Elizabeth also coming out. "There was a three sided war between the Devils, the Fallen Angels, and God with Angels as its followers. All three sides had a large army and they fought for almost eternity. As a result, all three sides lost most of their troops and the war finished several hundred years ago with no side winning."
Yuuto continued, "The Devils were no exception. Big Devils with Peerage who commanded about 20 or 30 troops lost most of their underlings because of the war. They lost so many, that they couldn't even form new armies."
Akeno continued on from there. "I heard that most of the pure Devils passed away in that war. But even after the war, there are still problems between the Devils, the Fallen Angels and God. Even when the Fallen Angels' and God's side also lost most of their troops, we are still in a position where we can't let our guard down, or else we will be in trouble."
Then Rias spoke again. "Then, the Devils decided to use a system to form a small group of soldiers. And that is the Evil Piece."
"Evil Piece?" Kazuki asked confused, expecting things to get complicated from here on as he focused on taking it all in.
"Devils with Peerage decide to use the traits of the human's game "Chess" to their Servant Devils. It was sarcasm, because most of the Servants are Devils that were reincarnated from humans. Since then, Chess became a popular game in the world of the Devils. We'll leave that aside. Devils who are masters are a "King". In our case, that is me. From there, they created 5 special traits that consist of Queen, Rook, Bishop, Knight and Pawn. Since they couldn't make an army, they decided to have a small number of Devils and give them enormous powers. This system was made in the past few hundred years, and this unexpectedly became popular amongst Devils with Peerage."
"Popular? You mean the Chess rule?" Chihaya asked.
Rias nodded as she continued, "They started to compete against each other. For example like, "My Knight is stronger!", or "No, my Rook is stronger!" As a result, high-class Devils started to play a game like that of Chess against each other using their Servant Devils. We call it the "Rating Game". Anyways, this game became very popular amongst the Devils. Now, there are even tournaments for it. The strength of their "Pieces" and also how strong they are at the game affects the Devils' social position, and their Peerage. There is a thing called "Piece Collect" where they gather humans with talents and make them into their Pieces. It is very popular recently. Talented Servants become their status."
'So being a strong servant in a Rating Game will mean I'm a splendid Devil?' Kazuki thought to himself.
{Yes…It Will Also Represent You And Ms. Gremory's Pride With How You Fight} the booming voice added before Rias continued, "I'm not a matured Devil yet, so I can't participate in a formal tournament. Even if I could, there are things that I need to go through, or else I can't play. In short, you and my Servants here won't be participating in a game for a while."
"So does that mean that the others haven't played in that game yet?" Yuna asked curiously.
"Yeah" Yuuto answered. Kazuki starts to wonder what piece he was as he asked, "President, what Piece am I? And what are my role and traits?"
"Kazuki, you are..." Rias started before a chill running down Kazuki's spine as he felt the killing intent grow stronger.
"I can smell something disgusting. But I can also smell something delicious. Is it sweet? Or is it sour?" A low voice that sounds like it's coming from below the ground, Kazuki has a very bad feeling at hearing the scary voice.
"Exiled Devil Vaizor. We are here to eliminate you," Rias declared before the voice came out again, echoing around the room, "Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwa..."
From the shadows, a figure showed up being revealed as a topless woman but with heavy footsteps as her lower body came into view, showing a body of a gigantic beast. In each hand she had a large spear and her lower body had four fat legs with sharp claws as well as a snake tail which moved on its own.
Kazuki was ready to throw up, but Rias told him to keep looking at it.
'She's about five metres tall and you're calling that small?', he asked to himself.
"Leaving your master's side and rampaging as you please definitely deserves death. In the name of Duke Gremory, I will gladly eliminate you!" Rias declared seriously before the Exiled Devil barked back, "You are cunning for a little girl! I will rip your body and color it in red just like your hair!"
"Vaizor speaks in a stylish manner. Yuuto!" Rias spoke.
"Yes!" Yuuto replied before sprinting ahead as soon as Rias ordered him to. Kazuki and the others are surprised at how fast he was moving as they can't keep up with his movements.
"Kazuki, I will continue from the lecture before. Yuna, you and the others should also listen," Rias spoke to them. Kazuki then remembered that she was talking about the Evil Pieces before, as she continued, "Yuuto's position is "Knight". Its trait is speed. Those who become a knight have their speed increased." Kazuki and the others watched as Yuuto easily disappeared with the speed he was travelling Vaizor trying to hit him with her spears but continuously missing.
"And Yuuto's ultimate weapon is swords." Yuuto stopped his movements and suddenly he was holding a European sword. He took it out of the scabbard and the naked sword was reflecting the light of the moon before he suddenly disappeared again. Kazuki and the girls then heard the scream from Vaizor, "Gyaaaaaaaaaah!" They were surprised at seeing both of the Exiled Devil's arms had been cut off, blood gushing out of the wounds as Rias continued, "This is Yuuto's power, speed that you can't follow with your eyes, and sword skills of that of a professional. By combining these two, he becomes the fastest Knight."
Kazuki's eyes fell as they picked up a shadow by the Exiled Devil's legs, widening as he realized that it was Koneko as Rias continued speaking, "Next is Koneko. She is a "Rook". The trait of a Rook is its -"
The enormous monster tried to stamp on Koneko but it didn't hit the ground.
"The trait of a Rook is simple, absolute strength and also very high defense. It's impossible for a Devil with that caliber to stamp on Koneko. It can't crush her," Rias spoke as Kazuki and the girls watched Koneko easily lift up Vaizor.
"Fly…." Koneko uttered before jumping high and punched into the monster's stomach very sharply throwing its body backwards. Kazuki gulped as he reminded himself not to get on her bad side, let alone Yuna's Rin's and Kuriko's bad sides.
"Lastly, Akeno," Rias spoke. Akeno is laughing and walking towards the monster, as she continued,
"Akeno is a "Queen". It's the person who is the strongest after me. She is the unbeatable Queen who has all the traits of Pawn, Knight, Bishop, and Rook."
"Guguuuuuuu...!" Vaizor moaned as she stared at Akeno, who had a fearless laugh after seeing her opponent's gaze as she spoke, "Oh my, seems like you still have some energy left in you. Then how about this?" She put her hands up towards the sky, sparks in the air before a lightning bolt struck down onto the monster who shouted, "Gagagaggaaaaaa!" Its body was burnt and smoking as Akeno spoke, "Oh my, seems like you are still energetic. Looks like you can take more." She launches another lightning bolt that hits the monster even harder.
"Gwaaaaaaah!" Akeno's face while striking down the lightning bolt had a scary and cold expression even though she was smiling. Kazuki shuddered as she laughed.
"Akeno excels at using attacks made from magical powers. She could use natural elements like lightning, ice, and fire and such. And most of all, she is the ultimate sadist," Rias confessed like it was nothing. Kazuki face-paled at the thought that Akeno is a sadist (someone who enjoys inflicting pain on other people). The girls didn't fare any better as Elizabeth went back in Kuriko's body, and Yuna and Chihaya holding on to each for dear life, and Rin grips her sword even harder.
Rias added, "Usually, she's very kind. But once the battle starts, she won't stop until she calms down."
"I'm scared of Akeno..." Kazuki spoke, nervous and worried for himself.
"Same here!" the other girls replied as Rias spoke, "You don't have to be afraid. Akeno is very kind to comrades, so it's not a problem. She even said that you were cute. Next time, get spoiled by her. She will definitely hug you kindly." Yuna and Kuriko made X's on their arms and told Rias not to.
Rias sighed, then turns back to the scary Akeno as she spoke, "Fufufufufufu. How much of my lightning can you take, Monster-san? You still can't die yet. The one who finishes you off will be my master. Ohohohoh!"
Kazuki shuddered as for the next few minutes, Akeno's lightning attacks continued until she calmed down. Rias confirming it and nodded her head before approaching the monster that had already lost its will to fight, putting her hand towards the monster as she asked "Any last words?"
"Kill me." The monster said.
"Is that so? Then disappear." Rias replied heartlessly before a gigantic black magic ball shot out from her palm. The magic attack was big enough to cover all of the monster's body which it soon did before disappearing to reveal nothing, not even a trace of the Exiled Devil's body remained. Kazuki gulped nervously at the power of his master, who sighed once she'd confirmed that the Exiled had disappeared turning back to the others as she spoke, "It's over. Good work everyone." Everyone relaxes to how they usually acted at that moment, aside from Kazuki, Yuna, Rin, Chihaya, and Kuriko who were still surprised at what they had witnessed before Kazuki remembers what he had to ask.
"President, there is still one thing that you didn't tell me." Kazuki said.
Rias smiling as she looked at him and asked, "What is it?"
"What is my piece as a Servant?" he asked, curiously as the crimson-haired beauty smiled at him and said clearly, "Kazuki, you are a Pawn." Kazuki slumped slightly at hearing that until Kuriko spoke up, "In the human game, the Pawn can promote itself into one of the other pieces aside from a King so it's considered as important as other pieces and potentially a game changer." Kazuki thought about it for a moment before deciding that being a Pawn wasn't all bad if he could do what Kuriko had said.
Unfortunately, what they didn't know is that ANOTHER Exiled Devil appears out of nowhere and starts attacking the group.
"Rin, behind you!" yelled Kazuki. Rin quickly looked back to see an Exiled Devil coming to attack her. She quickly takes out her sword, and her sword is intensified with magic as her sword quickly glowed green. "Die, you lowlife bastard!" yelled Rin as she quickly slices the Exiled Devil, cutting in two, killing it instantly.
"Nice attack there," said Yuuto, very impressed by her sword movements.
However, 2 more Exiled Devils came, and they unleashed their attacks on Kazuki. "Kazuki!" yelled Chihaya and Yuna. Chihaya quickly summoned a huge ice ball and threw it at the Exiled Devils attacks, freezing them, before they disappeared, and then Yuna quickly summoned a powerful explosion ball and threw at the 2 Exiled Devils fast, not giving them a chance to escape, as they too, died instantly.
"Quick and fast thinking…" murmured Koneko, wide-eyed on how they did it together.
And then, another Exiled Devil came, and Kuriko was ready. "Let me show you how it's done," she said as took out 4 paper talisman, each having various attacks of Earth, Wind, Fire, and Light, and threw those on the Exiled Devil. Once those papers were attached, the Exiled Devil was in extreme pain, and then Elizabeth created a huge vortex, sucking the Exiled Devil in there, and closed it.
"Very powerful…" said Akeno, amazed by Kuriko's and Elizabeth's attacks.
Just when they thought it was finally over, one more Exiled Devil came, and it was as huge as Goliath. Kazuki's right arm suddenly glowed, and another sword forms out. This time, a red sword with no proper cutting edge comes out, and the word "Explosion" is on the tip of the sword. Kazuki then notices the punch from the huge Exiled Devil's large arm coming for them, and wasting no time, he hi-jumped as far as he could go, and then swung the sword at the large fist. When the sword made contact on the enemy's fist, it created a powerful explosion that's as huge as a torpedo, and everyone had to cover themselves from the huge blast.
When the smoke is cleared, a large crater has been formed in front of them, and the huge Exiled Devil that was once there, exploded into large pieces. "In-In-Incredible…" said Rias, amazed on how strong and powerful Kazuki's Ten Commandments Sword really is.
"Yay! Kazuki did it!" cheered Yuna, as she, Kuriko, Rin, Chihaya, and Elizabeth congratulated him.
'He will certainly be very useful,' Rias thought to herself. "OK, everyone. Now we can go back."
