Zekram forgot that he was in a meeting as he succumbed to his inner thoughts. 'Am I assuming correct about Jiraiya or is this just a mere coincidence. From the way that person spoke, it is a warning. But why now? Is something going to happen in future?' Are the questions plaguing his mind.
'Whatever happens, I must keep a close eye on the young generation. They are going to be the future of our race. I must find whether this warning about my past decisions or a sign of something happening soon? If possible, I must talk to Naruto about his mastery of his Sacred Gear. He is going to be a valuable asset in the future. I must think of a way to win his trust' he thought, disconnecting himself from the outside world.
He thought of all the possibilities he can take to avoid the wrath of whoever spoke to him. To talk to someone who is experienced and battle-hardened like him was not an easy feat, and the confidence in that voice is terrifying.
As Jiraiya continued his presentation of his skills, Zekram continued to ponder all the possibilities. As the presentation came to an end, everyone stood and applauded the skills of Jiraiya. This managed to bring Zekram back to the real world.
"Marvelous. Such amazing talent in Illusion magic is unheard of and is thought only possible to Youkai" said one of the members.
"Yes, that is correct. You are not only skilled in your books but also Magic, Jiraiya-sama" said the phenex Elder.
Praises continued to follow and as time passed, everyone settled down to discuss the matter further.
"I think it is time to vote, Zekram-sama," said one of the advisors and Zekram nodded.
"Yes. Now that we have a good measure of Jiraiya-sama's skills and magic. I want to put another voting session" he said and everyone nodded.
"Those in favour of giving Jiraiya the sennin the position of High-class Human Devil," asked Zekram. Everyone rose their hands in favour.
"Those who dissent," he asked and no hand rose. Jiraiya got even more favourable votes than before.
"Then it is decided. Jiraiya, the Sennin, from this moment forth you are given the status of High-class Devil and you will receive your Evil Pieces set tomorrow in the official ceremony with another person who will explain to you how it works" said Zekram and Jiraiya nodded.
"It is an honour," he said and bowed to the whole Council Chamber.
"The Council is dismissed" declared Zekram and stepped down from his podium.
Everyone went on their ways while Zekram and other leaders went to check on the progress of the place where the ceremony will take place.
Next Day, Lucifer Stadium, Underworld
Lucifer stadium is one of the most prestigious and special stadiums that Devils ever made and constructed. This stadium was constructed by Original Lucifer the Morning Star himself and is only used for something when highly important takes place.
Devils feel a connection here to Lucifer, their father. That is why only the most important things take place here. Reincarnating a Human into a Devil was normal to them but reincarnating a Human into a Human-Devil is something new and that to be done to a prestigious figure like Jiraiya is something not happened in Devil history and such stadium and befitting the role.
The stadium can hold hundreds of thousands of Devils and can expand and shift its shape according to the design they want. They shifted the round stadium into a large auditorium with a large stage at the front and backstage with all the special effects chosen and required by their guests.
Zekram saw through the process and nodded in satisfaction. This duty was generally assigned to Serafall, but he feared that she might add some Magical Girl Milky spirals posters and came to oversee the progress himself. He can't let go of the fear that crept through his heart when he heard that voice even now.
It was as cold as ice in Cocytus as he had the opportunity to visit that God-forsaken ice in his life and he had been frozen to the core at that time.
'I can't ignore the threat. The confidence is unreal. How can someone mock such a powerful Faction like us? They must at least be a being of the top 10 it's just overconfident. Whatever the case may be, I'm going to be careful from now on. I guess I shouldn't think about this much as that person said and I have my strongest in Sirzechs and Ajuka if it comes to war. But I'm not going to leave it here. I'm going to find who it is' he vowed and continued decorating the stage for the big event tomorrow. The event is planned for nighttime as they are beings of darkness and Jiraiya will be given his Evil Pieces at midnight.
They creating history tomorrow after all. A Human was accepted unto Devil ranks but still keeping his Humanity is a once in a millennia opportunity and he is going to make it as grand as it should be.
With Naruto
In the Ninja Club Room, Naruto was overseeing all activities with his girls. He wants to get it done as soon as possible as he has some more preparations to be made.
"Why thinking deep, King" came the sweet voice of Reni.
"Oh, not deep. But I'm thinking of what to do. You know tomorrow is going to be the day I am going to be introduced as a Human-Devil to the Devil society and they are in for a big surprise" he said with a smirk.
"Oh, do tell. What is it?" she asked curiously.
"Hmm, no. I know you won't be surprised as much as others. Here is what I want you to do" he said and Reni listened attentively.
"At the time of my announcement, I want you to go to Student Council Room as I knew Sona and Rias are going to be watching the live event from there," he said with a joyful smirk.
"How cruel of you, Naruto-kun. Of course, our beloved Devils will get a surprise tomorrow alright" she said with the same smile as Naruto. It seems like his prankster nature is contagious.
