Novar : Vampire Anger
My Name is Novar Seviyor Agis De Valencia, I was a 5-year-old vampire prince. I'm a participant in the Young Devil Party and now I just beat 3 young demons. The anger made me lose control a bit and made the heads of three young demons buried within the walls of the waiting room. But I didn't kill them because of the rules that forbid the killing of fellow participants.
"WHAT HAPPENED…!?"
The event supervisor immediately came and approached me when he saw the three young demons buried in the wall.
"They touching my hand without permission… that's why I gave them a warning…"
"Give them a warning…? Ah, I know…"
The supervisor who asked me immediately came to a conclusion when he saw Nara hiding behind my back. The supervisor immediately checked the condition of the three demons whose heads were buried in the wall. They fainted and suffered minor head injuries because my attacks weren't meant to kill.
"Thank goodness they're still alive... please hold yourself when attacking other participants… you know the rule right…?"
"Yes, I know… fellow participants are not allowed to kill each other."
"That's good… then I will take the three of them to ward…"
I didn't expect the supervisor to just let me go after beating 3 people until passed out. This proves the rule that the strong can do anything is true. The problem is I still worry about Nara's condition when I'm not around.
"Nara… we need to talk…"
"O-okay…"
I gave Nara some instructions before the entire second Young Devil Party event started. while in the center of the city the Demon Union Capital was already bustling with an audience. They watch the events of the Young Devil Party from the magic screen. Almost all the inns in the Demon Union Capital provided magic screens to watch the event.
"WHOA… they are almost done measuring the status of all the participants…"
"I can't wait to see who has the highest status this year…"
"Me too… this is for our young generation…!"
"YEAH…"
The audience continued to cheer without being noticed by the participants in the waiting room. I am currently busy with a young demon who has considerable power. He approached me who was giving instructions to Nara. The radiance of his magical energy was so distracting that I was forced to turn my head toward the young demon. This young demon was almost the same height as Nara, and he had white hair.
"What do you want…?"
"I'm just curious... how can a small vampire like you have that much power...?"
"I just train my body with secret methods…"
"Hmm… interesting… I never know about vampires that have a secret training method before…"
I ignore him and try to walk away with Nara. But the handsome young demon didn't let me go and started following me from behind. I quickened my pace until we finally reached the other side of the waiting room.
"Why do you look like you want to stay away from me...?"
"Tch… it's just your imagination… how can I try to stay away from you…?"
Even in this huge waiting room like this, I can't escape from him. Somehow my instincts told me not to get involved with this white-haired boy. His character reminded me of someone from the Mataram era on Earth.
"Ah that's right, I almost forgot to introduce myself… my name is Erion Re Avia…"
I couldn't hold back the shock that made my mouth open when I heard the name of the annoying boy in front of me. Avia family was a unique bloodline that came from the demon lord itself. I know about that from an old history book in the vampire castle library.
"Y-you… a-are… d-demon lord son's…!"
"Yups… I was 14th son."
I stopped my intention to run away and ended up sitting near the entrance area of the waiting room where the other participants had come.
"Haaa… then why a demon lord son still came to Young Devil Party…?"
I even sighed while asking Erion about his reason for joining the Young Devil Party. I didn't expect a special descendant of a demon lord to bother coming to the Young Devil Party event.
"From what I know, all of the demon lord sons have special treatment… you can refuse the Young Devil party invitation and proof yourself in another way…"
"That right… and because of special treatment… my brother's the 13th and 12th son was missing… it already 10 years after they start a journey…"
"Ah, so you came here to try using a safe way…?"
"Of course…! Which child would want to jump into danger like my crazy brothers... I'd rather be called a coward or not be recognized as a demon lord's son as long as I can survive…"
"it makes sense to me… then what do you want from me…?"
"I want to make an alliance with you…"
the prince reached out his hand to me and invited me to shake hands. I smiled when I heard his answer which seemed to need my help with something. but if his character is the same as the person I knew in the Mataram kingdom, then the answer is only one.
"I refuse…"
"Eh…?"
As I answered his invitation to form an alliance, then I grabbed Erion's hand with a smile. Erion's face looks really messed up when he hears my answer. But he also couldn't be angry that the event supervisor had started to enter the waiting room.
"Listen…! We are going to publish your rank…!"
I let go of Erion's hand and brought Nara closer to the supervisors to see the rank we got. Erion was still petrified when we left him in the corner of the waiting room.
Rank For Demon
The rank of a demon originally came from humans, but that rank was also known by the demons and made it a standard. There are 12 ranks that become the benchmark for the strength of the demons by looking at their status. Starting with Myo which is the lowest rank for demons. Myo, Mial, Mor, Mi, Nir, Ni, Ej, Iel, Tev, Nyn, Nyo, and Mirel was a rank name for demons. A young demon could rank up when becoming an adult, but they had to re-measure in the Demon Union Capital.
"This a result from measuring all of you… but don't make your current status a pride because in the future all of this rank can change…"
How surprised Novar was when he saw the 2 highest-ranking young demons who got the Tev rank. they managed to get the fourth rank Tev at a young age. Whereas Tev's rank was equivalent to a top-rank demon which was a disaster in itself for the human race.
'So they become that level at young age… but I also don't have to worry too much because my rank is only one level below theirs.'
Novar is in the ranks of the Iel rank alongside Nara and 29 other demons. Behind the scenes, the demon lord who saw the entire event of the Young Devil Party smiled.
"This is the best record in the last ten years... 31 Iel and 2 Tev ranks… I could say they are the golden generation... but it's a shame that one of the Tev ranks is my son."
"Should I pull Erion out of the Young Devil Party event...?"
One of the demon lord's trusted butlers appeared from within the darkness. The demon lord only sighed when he saw him emerge from the corner of the room.
"Haaa… Ronan... I've told you so many times about the way you appear that's too annoying…"
"I'm s-sorry my lord…!"
"Haaa… I'm not angry... because today I'm quite happy to see the results of measuring the power of the young demons, so let him alone… I don't want to spoil the Young Devil party just to pick up my son."
The demon lord returned to focus on watching the Young Devil Party program which continued with the distribution of gold plates to the participants. The small gold plate that was handed out contained the emblems of the participants' rankings. The gold plate tied with the magic rope can be used as a necklace or other accessories. Where the lowest rank in the waiting room was Ni rank, there were 57 people with Ni rank. A total of 200 participants registered in the ranking names. Meaning that more than 200 people whose status has been measured failed to pass.
'More than 200 people or can I say 255 people was fail in measuring power…'
The moment Novar drew his conclusions, he knew the bare minimum of the status measurement test. The supervisor who had previously announced the ranking issue was back on stage again.
"With this, you all have officially become ranked demons… but you still have to go through one more test, where you have to recruit at least 5 members from other groups."
Erion immediately raised his hand after hearing the supervisor's new assignment. The supervisor fell silent and turned to Erion.
"May I ask...?"
"Sure…"
"Why do we create groups after status measurement...? Then, can we recruit the people in this room...?"
The supervisor smiled like crazy when he hears Erion's question. His smile was so scary because he had a very scary face from the start.
"I'm glad you asked… let me explain it… you need this member for dungeon exploration… the reason you need members is not to protect or help you... but to see how good you guys are at leading the troops. You're free to form alliances between groups, but you can't recruit people from this room... because those in this room belong to a special case. My assistant will lead you the way to another room… so good luck…!"
