"Wear some casual clothes. I'll take you to meet with Rias and the others." He said to Aika who suddenly seemed flustered, "Rias-senpai? She's also a devil?" She asked.
"Not only Rias but Akeno, Sona, and all of the most popular girls in the school. They're all devils." He enjoyed her wide-eyed look as she looked mortified. "Don't worry. They aren't your typical devils. They're actually pretty good for being devils so you don't have to worry." He told her, patting her head for comfort.
Just as she was about to go, he stopped her, "Wait up." She turned to him with an inquisitive look.
He held her palm in his hand and pointed his finger at it before s stream of demonic energy was released from it. That stream made a tattoo on her palm that seemed like the letter B but with some variations. It was the Bael clan symbol.
"With this symbol, you are officially recognized as my servant and a member of the Bael clan." He told her as her eyes brightened up, "You can go now."
She nodded happily and went over to her closet before grabbing a pair of casual pants and a full-sleeved top. As she bent over to wear her clothes, she made sure to give him a nice view of her glistening snatch. His juices were trapped inside by a spell, but her folds were still glistening with her arousal.
"Um… Sir…" She called out hesitantly. After wearing her clothes. "Hm? What is it?" He asked. "Can I address you as Abaddon-sama instead of sir?" She asked and closed her eyes tightly expecting to be reprimanded.
"Sure," He shrugged in agreement, "That's actually an appropriate term for a maid to call her master here in Japan. I don't mind." He easily agreed. She was a little surprised at his casual agreement, but smiled brightly afterward and said, "Thank you, Abaddon-sama."
"You have a lot to learn, Aika. You're a full-fledged devil of the clan of Bael now and more importantly, you're a member of my peerage, my pawn. No matter how you act with me. You have to uphold your pride in front of others, no matter who it is. But at the same time, you don't have to limit yourself. You can do whatever you want. I give you free reins to do anything you want to do. Though there is one thing that you don't have free reins over." He approached her and brought his hand to her legs. Trailing over her thighs covered by her pants, he reached and cupped her crotch tightly.
His action made Aika gasp as she got up on her toes due to him pulling his hand up, "Abaddon-sama…"
"This belongs to me and me alone. Even you aren't allowed to pleasure yourself from today onwards. If I even catch you trying, you'll be in for a painful punishment. Understood?" He had a stern look on his face.
"Understood, Abaddon-sama." She nodded while her breathing got labored due to her arousal.
"Good. You'll slowly understand what I expect from you in due time, apart from what I've already told you." He told her with a satisfied smile on his face as he let her snatch free.
"Okay, Abaddon-sama. Am I still allowed to go to school?" She asked him. He told her, "That's up to you. I don't plan to restrict you in any manner. As long as you fulfill certain expectations that I have of you, you can do whatever you want. On paper, you're my servant, but in reality, a devil's peerage is like their closest family who goes through all sorts of adversities with them. So you mean a lot more to me than you realize, Aika." He kissed her forehead with a smile before continuing, "Now enough mushy bullshit. Let's go to school. I have to introduce you to Rias and Sona. They are the handlers of this territory." He told her before casting a teleportation circle that led to his room.
"Um… Abaddon-sama, I have a question that I forgot to ask you before…" Aika raised her hand like a student.
"Ask away, Aika." He chuckled.
"I couldn't understand the situation with devil classes. I know that there are Low Class, Mid Class, High Class, and then Ultimate Class. But where does the Satan Class come in this? It was mentioned in a different area with very little explanation.
"Oh, that… Yeah. The system was made pretty confusing after the whole social class structure was added in…" Abaddon trailed off in thought before saying, "Low to High Class is a simple concept. You are ranked on the basis of your power and social standing that comes from the rating games. The power levels are variable and subject to manipulation. Most heirs of the remaining pillars are high class while not having the corresponding power so it is mostly a social standing thing. Then comes Ultimate Class which is much stricter. To become an Ultimate Class devil, one has to show some significant contribution to hell along with having the corresponding power. The first requirement can be circumvented by the pillars since almost all the lords of the pillars can become the Ultimate Class if they have the corresponding power level. You getting it?" He asked her
"What kind of power is required for one to be an Ultimate Class?" She asked.
"Well, that's also very varied depending on your examiner. You need to have another Ultimate Class gauge your power in the presence of one of the Satans. Usually, it is the lord of your own house. In my situation, it would be my father. Sadly, he has an extreme requirement from me, which also extends to Sairaorg, my brother. By typical devil standards, we are both already well into the Ultimate Class of the power levels." He explained.
"And the Satan class?" She asked.
"That's more of a title than the power level. Though it is an unwritten requirement for a Satan to be stronger than any known Ultimate class. Taking an example, my father, the Lord of the House of Bael, is considered the strongest Ultimate Class being. But all four Satans are stronger than him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed them to stay in their seats that command such massive influence." He explained.
He excluded talks about his Ancestor whose will was permeant in most of his father's decisions and actions, like the fact that it was his ancestor who blocked Abaddon from becoming an Ultimate Class being before reaching the power level of Satan.
"Now, enough talk, let's go." He said.
Taking hesitant yet curious steps, Aika followed Abaddon into the circle as she saw a flash of light before being transported to a seemingly messy room with a lot of stuff seems out of place.
"Welcome to my room. It's a bit messy since I was waiting for you to come and clean it up for me." He told her only to see her eyes widen a little, "But I can't do all this work within a single day, Abaddon-sama." She said.
"Don't sweat it. You can just work at your own pace. You're my maid, not some overworked slave. The only time you may consider yourself my slave is when I decide to fuck you like my bitch." His words made her smile sultrily.
"Abaddon-sama~" She acted coquettish and slapped his shoulder playfully.
"I also have some of my books here that you can go through. Look for the book on conjuring clothes for yourself and make a maid outfit for yourself that you will be wearing from now on. That is your task for today. I want you to wear that outfit whenever you serve me." He told her.
"You're such a pervert, Abaddon-sama…" She looked at him teasingly. "That I am." He agreed proudly, "Now dress me up." He spanked her butt, making her jump and release a light shriek due to his sudden action.
"Don't be a baby." He said to her.
"My master is mean to me…" She mumbled in an audible voice to him and went over to the open suitcase with his clothes.
After dressing him up, she followed him as he brought her to the Occult Research Clubroom.
He walked into the room and was greeted by the scene of Koneko lying on the couch with her head on Rias' lap while she rubbed Koneko's head while reading a book. On the other couch opposite it, Akeno was lying with her arm covering her eyes as her dress revealed plenty of her cleavage.
"Hey, cousin…" He greeted Rias who seemed a little startled at his arrival. "Why can't you knock?" She looked at him angrily.
"It goes against my principle. I shouldn't have to knock. People should have to knock to meet me." He said. "Boys…" She rolled her eyes, "Is this…" She trailed off as she noticed Aika.
"My new maid and pawn. She'll be living with us for now." He said.
Koneko had already perked up and looked at the girl beside Abaddon.
"Greetings, Rias-senpai, Koneko-san." Aika politely greeted the girls in an out-of-character manner.
"Aika-senpai is a pervert, Abaddon-senpai. She's lying, this isn't how she usually acts." Koneko told him with good intentions. She'd seen Aika doing things similar to the perverted trio and wasn't very fond of her.
Koneko's words put a wry smile on Aika's face she didn't say anything and looked at Abaddon.
He walked to the couch and rubbed Koneko's head with a light chuckle, "Thanks for the heads up, Koneko. But I actually got her because of her perverted observation skills. She can perfectly see the tiniest details in anything. Its applications are in more than just measuring dick sizes." He said and saw Rias' eyes widen.
"Exactly." Abaddon said to Rias, "This girl can see through weaknesses in any Magic Circle. She's a bloody genius at it too." He told Rias with pride. His words made Aika puff up her chest as she felt warm at the praise from her master.
"Damn… I missed her…" Rias cursed herself for not getting Aika sooner.
"You're too desperate for power and are looking for people with sacred gears among the humans when what you really need to look for are people with real talent. Sacred gears are easy to get. Just extract the sacred gear one from a wielder and boom it's yours now. Look for people with real talents in this school." He gave her his advice.
"Yeah, you're not wrong about my desperation…" Rias said with a self-deprecating tone.
"Anyway, no more of this depressing atmosphere. The flaming chicken isn't going to become a cooked chicken by itself. You need to work hard for it." He said to them, "What's up with my girl Akeno there?" He asked Rias as he saw that Akeno hadn't woken up even after they had made such a ruckus.
"She's my Queen, not your girl…" Rias got defensive and seemed to want to pick a fight with him for her Queen. "Yeah yeah, whatever. What's up with her?" He asked again.
"A particularly tiresome job client… And she couldn't even get them to sign off on the contract." Rias told him. "Oh yeah, I forgot about devil contracts…" He said.
"Aika." He called her. "Yes, Abaddon-sama?"
"You will also be completing some job requests for now. I'll give you my contract circle and you can go into the human world to start getting people to sell their souls to the house of Bael." He told her. "I understand. What manner of jobs must I be completing?" He asked.
"Whatever you want. I'll leave them at your discretion. But don't feel pressured to complete a contract. If the client is inappropriate or a troublesome asshole, then you can just leave or kill them, though I don't think you'll be comfortable killing someone yet." He told her.
"Why do you need her to complete contracts?" Rias asked, "You can just get her promoted through rating games…" Rias asked him.
"It won't help her. My reputation is too fearsome and no one at a lower level can actually touch me. Even if she participates with me, she wouldn't get enough clout to promote herself and would just be seen as baggage. Plus, I'm taking a break from Rating games. They've gotten boring. They aren't really challenging for me anymore." He told her. "I'll get back into them after officially reaching Ultimate Class."
"Fuck…" Rias couldn't help herself from cursing as she heard him casually talking about becoming an Ultimate Class devil. Though she didn't notice his subtle wordplay in her frustration that signified that he was already as strong as an Ultimate Class. She was also sure to become an Ultimate Class with time, but it wouldn't be a fast process and would be very difficult if she wanted to speed it up.
"Anyway. Did you decide on the venue for our training? We will have multiple people to accommodate for training." He said.
"I prepared an isolated mountain that would work very nicely for training. It should be enough." She said before continuing, "Though who else is coming?" She asked.
"You, Akeno, Koneko… Then Aika, and maybe Seekvaira too… I'm also planning on inviting Sona today if she's willing to come. So all in all 7 people at most." He said.
"You mean 6." She corrected him. "I'll be training too, Rias." He said flat expression. "My bad…" She stuck out her tongue at him.
"Can you take care of my girl here?" He pointed at Aika, "I have plans and she needs to get settled." He told Rias. "Sure, enjoy your vacation while I take care of all the work…" Rias grumbled.
"Hey, you're the one who's so adamant about not getting closer to me. I've invited you on a date before, and I've even invited you to my bed as my sleeping buddy, yet you keep refusing." He shrugged nonchalantly.
"We're cousins…" She emphasized. "We're also devils so it literally doesn't matter." He told her.
"All right, go away. Enjoy your dumb date with Sona. I'll think about it." Rias pushed him out of the room and slammed the door close.
"Well, that was new." He didn't expect Rias to actually say that she'll think about it. He was just teasing her for the fuck of it. "I won't say no to my beautiful redhead of a cousin. Especially since she would be the perfect person for me to train my Power of Destruction with… In so many ways…" He had a devious smile on her face.
"Go away…" Rias' voice came from the other side of the door.
"No respect…" He grumbled as he walked away.
Rias, being his cousin and childhood friend got quite a bit of leeway in what she could say to him. Otherwise, if someone else said this kind of stuff to him, their head wouldn't exist anymore, literally.
