The next morning, our main protagonist is currently walking towards the school, who seems to be talking to no one,
To others, at least.
"I told you already, just drop it," said the irritated Ryvern.
'And I told you already, just confess to her!' Luxuria shouted aloud in his head.
The already irate Ryvern grunts slowly as he bumps into a rather bright Jacob Wilson. The frown on his face changes as he slowly smirks.
"What's got you smiling, Wilson? You hit a lottery or something?"
The grinning Jacob turns to Ryvern.
"I heard my teacher said there's gonna be a new girl in our class!" He said enthusiastically.
Ryvern smirks as he turns to the road in front of them.
"Sure..." Ryvern paused before continuing, "Pervert."
Then, silence filled around them as Jacob rolls his eyes and matches the walking pace with Ryvern.
...
"Cheers!" A group of adventurers in different clothes while one of them wore an armour, clinked their glass before gulping down the alcohol in one go.
One of the adventurer; the one cladded in armour turned to his companions.
"How bout we take a few days break?"
The brunette received smirks from his companions. The one in black hair chuckled as he says;
"Just be honest, Art. You want to flirt with the girls in this town, don't you?"
The others laughed as the brunette slowly covered his face in embarrassment. At the same time, a group of maidens in armours glanced over to them as one of them was staring deeply at the man with black hair; Ryvern.
Another brunette who sat next to Ryvern nudged his side and gestured to the lady who was staring at him. The black haired man glanced over to the lady as she herself looked away.
"Looks like Ryv found one before our leader," said the brunette which gained a laugh from each and every one of them.
...
The sound of tires screeching distracted Ryvern from his daydream. In front of him is a black Rolls Royce which seems to have skidded from the road. The car almost hit the guard rail which separates the road from the sidewalk. He turns his head to where Jacob was supposed to be and sees the brunette is on the ground, gasping with his horrified face.
A door of the car opens up and reveals a beautiful red haired lady in Atkinson Academy uniform. Jacob immediately recovers and faces the red haired beauty. The student approaches them, slightly bows before saying;
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience."
She then politely gestures at her driver who is now out of the car and bows to them.
"It seems that my driver was distracted and lost control. I will-"
"Don't be."
Ryvern waves her off.
"We're both fine, you don't have to be sorry about it."
Ryvern walks away as Jacob can only stares at the silver haired boy in disbelief. The brunette apologises to the red haired student and runs toward Ryvern.
"Dude!" Jacob called him out. "Do you have any idea who that was? That was Nora Gregory; the most popular girl in our school!"
Ryvern shrugs.
"It's been three months since I transferred here, Wilson. What makes you think I'd know who's popular or not?"
Ryvern then simply turns his attention back towards the school with a fed up Jacob behind him.
"At least you should know she's the vice president of the Student Council!"
...
Ryvern has already depart with Jacob as the two are in two separate classes. On his way to his class, Ryvern stumbles upon someone whom was carrying a stack of books. Both of them bumps into each other but with quick reaction, Ryvern immediately grabs the person and the books with his other hand, preventing neither them or the books from hitting the ground.
All eyes in the hallway were on him as he carefully stabilises the books on one hand while the other trying to get the person to stand up properly.
"Are you alright?" Ryvern asked as they finally managed to stand by themselves.
"Y-yes."
The feminine voice makes Ryvern almost dropped the stacked books. Ryvern finally sees the person he saved whom is none other than his class monitor; Sona Bruvelle. He stays silent as he continues to hold the books. Sona also stays silent as she realises who saved her.
Awkward silence filled the hall but ended when someone cleared their throat.
"Ahem."
Both Ryvern and Sona turns their attention to the culprit and sees Julia Takahashi; one of their classmate who just arrived at the scene.
"Umm..." Sona trailed off.
Ryvern hands over the books to Julia and says, "Here."
"Rude," was Julia only reply as she grabs hold onto the book while Ryvern walks away, still flustered.
...
It is recess time and our silver haired protagonist is watching a bunch of students having a basketball game by the school's basketball court. At the same time, a blond hair male student approaches him.
"Ryvern Ryndelle?" asked the blondie.
"Yes."
Ryvern turns to him.
"And you are?"
"Michael Lezlie. The Student Council's president and her vice president want you to meet them in the Student Council room."
Ryvern let out soft sigh as he gets up from the seat.
"Okay."
"Do you need any help going there?"
"No thanks, I know how to get there."
Michael left the field, leaving Ryvern walking by himself, towards something that he thought was troublesome.
...
Ryvern knocks on the door of the Student Council room. A male voice from inside then tells him;
"Enter."
The silver haired student slides the door open and enters. Inside, he sees a male student with a rather short red hair, which was the Student Council President; Nolan Gregory, sitting behind a desk while the same red haired lady from this morning, his younger sister and the vice president; Nora Gregory, stands by the window.
"Why am I here?" Ryvern asked as the red haired male looks at Nora.
"Are you sure this is the guy?" Nolan whispered to Nora and she nods to him.
Nolan turns back to Ryvern.
"Do you know what a devil is, Mr. Ryndelle?"
Ryvern smirks as he says;
"There's two of them standing right in front of me."
Both the red haired siblings suddenly went to a fighting stance as soon as he finished his sentence. Ryvern holds both of his hands up, indicating that he does not want to fight.
"How do you know?" asked Nolan as he is engulfed with red aura.
"Which faction do you belong to?!" Nora asked as a red aura comes out of her hands.
Ryvern expression turns serious as he lowers his hands before saying;
"Neither."
Ryvern lets out a portion of energy from his body as his torso glows in pink underneath the school uniform. Both the president and Nora was taken back by the energy that Ryvern let out and take a step back.
'T-this energy!' Nora thought to herself.
'What kind of energy is that?!' Even Nolan was shocked.
'Dem... Calm down...' said Luxuria softly which was replied with a grunt by the silver haired kid.
"I don't care what devils want in Kujo," Ryvern said as the energy dissipate slowly, he continues, "But all I care for now is what do you want with me?"
Nolan let out a sweat.
"We were..." Nolan trailed off as he glances to his little sister.
The red haired lady still trembles with a rather horrified look on her face. The brother places his hand on his sister's shoulder and the girl slowly calms down. Nolan then turns back to Ryvern.
"We just find it weird that you came to this town, especially during this time. However, now with the revelation of your power, we can't help but to worry."
Ryvern scoffs.
"Worry for what?"
"That you might be a spy from Heaven," Nolan answered which made Ryvern's face grows a little worried.
"Heaven's sending out spies?" asked Ryvern to no one in particular. "Hmm..."
The silver haired teenage boy then does the thinking gestures before he turns back to the red haired male.
"I'm not from either faction, nor will ever joined one," he assured the the two redheads. "But depends on what you stand for, I might have to kill you."
Nolan can visibly gulping his saliva as Nora has a drop of sweat running down her forehead. Ryvern then crosses his arms.
"Still, you two never said why you want me here."
Calmed down, Nolan slowly opens his mouth.
"We... uhh... we were trying to see if you were 'reliable' enough to be Nora's 'servant' before 'someone else' stole you."
Ryvern's face turns blank, Nolan scratches the nape of his neck, and Nora is fidgeting with her finger while looking away. The silver haired boy then cracks up in laughter before he stops himself.
"So they call 'Slavils' as servant now?" Ryvern asked as he wipes the tears on his eyes.
The redheads look at each other in confusion which made Ryvern realised that the two devils did not know anything about slave devils, or 'slavils' in short.
"Oh you didn't know..."
Ryvern then clears his throat as a cell phone appears on his hand. He then threw the cell phone to Nolan. Nolan receives the phone with a confuse look on his face.
"What's this for?"
"I might need the Devils help to fight in the upcoming invasion. So for now, keep that one by your side."
"B-but you still never told us who you are," said Nora, who finally gains the courage to speak, which made the two males to turn their heads to her.
Ryvern closes his eyes as he sighs.
"Your name's Gregory, no?" asked Ryvern as the two siblings nods. "Then I'm sure you two are the descendant of Duke Novak Gregory."
Ryvern's knowledge of the two devils family history surprises them.
"Just ask your father who the 'Demon' was."
And with that, Ryvern left the room, leaving the two redheads siblings to let out a sigh of relief.
...
Night time...
The Student Council clubroom is currently being broken invaded by the a figure of a woman. Wearing a leather jacket with a black shirt underneath, brown leather pants, and a pair of red striped sneakers, she stands behind Nolan's desk. She is reading a file that has Jacob's picture clipped at top right corner of it.
"The reincarnation of the 'King', huh. Interesting," said the woman with a gentle voice that comes out from the red helmet that she wears.
As she closes the file, sounds of teleportation magic was heard.
She puts the file back to the opened drawer and sits on the chair behind the table. The people who used the teleportation magic have their backs to where Ryvern currently at.
"I assumed you two have already met him," she made herself known to a red haired male in combative uniform and a lady in a cyan robe; Nolan Gregory and Julia Takahashi.
Both of them have their attention on her as Julia silently yelped. Julia then put up her guard and ready to fight the unknown lady as Nolan raises his arm to Julia. She then drops the attacking form as the lady in red helmet then crosses her arms.
"Hmm..."
The woman tilts her head and speaks;
"Last time I checked, I'm sure there's four of-"
Suddenly, a metal sword and a hand with it's claws out are aimed to her neck.
"Michael Lezlie, Subaru Toujou. It's nice to see you two again."
Nolan then takes a step with a serious look on his face.
"Why didn't you tell us about 'him', Ver?"
Ver slowly raises up her hand in the air.
"Calm down, cowboy. If you keep that expression, I might steal you from that lady with teal hair."
The lady then gestures to Julia who has a slight tint of red on her cheeks. The lady in red helmet scoffs afterwards and says;
"Like before, I'm not here to fight, or even threatening you."
Nolan nods to Michael and Subaru, and both of them sheathed their weapons.
"So what are you here for?"
"I'm here to tell you that 'he' is mine. Don't even dare to touch him."
Nolan then places his hand on the table and gives Ver a look of suspicion.
"I witnessed a portion of his aura, Ver. What makes you think that you can 'control' 'him'?"
Ver then lays her back on the chair.
"'Control' is a bad word, Nolan. Didn't your father lost the greatest Hunter in this Earth to Germany because he wanted to control him?"
Nolan let out a sigh.
"This is going nowhere. Fine. Just make sure that 'he' won't get in my way."
The red haired male then turns away from Ver. At that moment, Ver's helmet suddenly brighten up as a 'robot' smirking face forms on it.
"No promises, Gregory."
Ver gets up from the chair as the smirking face disappear and turns into a smiling face. She then proceeds to walk towards the window.
"'He' said something about an 'upcoming invasion'," said Nolan as the lady in red helmet turns her head to him. "You know anything about that?"
Ver then stretches herself as she keeps walking.
"'Know' is not the word I'd choose, Gregory. It's more like I 'knew' about it."
The face on the helmet smirks once again.
"Well, I might be lying but who knows."
She then jumps into the window before flashes of red slightly brighten the field outside.
