- Scene change –
The rest of the day passed without much incident. The flirting with Kuisha did earn me some extra affection from her though. She is at 16 right now. I spent most of the day in the library as my fate as a free man depends on my performance in the High Class Devil Exam. Apparently I don't have the option of climbing my way higher from the bottom because as soon as I get in someone's peerage, I will be bound to fight for them when they call me. It doesn't matter if I have my own peerage or not, nor if I am a High Class Devil or an Ultimate Class Devil. Fair enough though, I myself won't let anyone I have spent hard time raising up to that level be completely free. That's just fair business. Is it unfair to them? Honestly, no. They chose this for themselves when they decided to serve under someone.
And that is why I won't serve under anyone. Worst case I will flee to wherever I can. Yup, that trip to India is still my reserve plan.
Finally the evening comes and I am summoned to the main hall where Zekram is waiting for me. Sairaorg is there with him too.
When I arrive, he summons a magic circle and we are teleported to a different place. The flying city Agreas is as beautiful as it was said in the novel. It's like Laputa, just much bigger, better and more advanced if that's possible.
Apparently there is usually more fanfare when a new Devil gets the position of a High Class Devil, but I am not getting that position right now. I am just going to turn into a Devil. Evil pieces won't be used because it will bind me to someone so we will be using the…..King's Monument I think it was called. We walk inside the building, where Sairaorg leads me to the room where the ceremony will be held, while Zekram goes somewhere else to take care of certain matters that people like him need to. I have no idea what.
Inside the room there are two people waiting for us. The first one is a bewitching looking young man who appears to be in his mid-twenties. He has green slicked back hair with blue eyes. His atmosphere is completely different from the rest of the world. It's like the very fabric of the world bends around him and the laws of the world give way to him. Ajuka Beelzebub. One of the four Great Satans and one of three existing Super Devils.

Affection – +2 (She likes that you are wearing glasses)
She likes that I am wearing glasses? Does she have a glasses fetish? Oh, Sona wears glasses. Must be her kink or something because as far as I am aware Devils don't need glasses.
Not that I mind the free Affection. Grinding is what is important after all. As I was conveniently ignoring Ajuka's presence over staring at the hot magical girl in front of me, Sairaorg breaks me out of my thoughts and I utter the first thing that comes to my mind.
"Magical Girls in the underworld, how does that work?" and I immediately regret it as I catch the glint in Serafall's eyes. Something tells me that I am not going to have a peaceful time in the underworld anytime soon.
Before I can get a reply though, Ajuka calls me and asks me to place my hands on the monument in front of me, which is basically a giant piece of crystal. I do as he instructs and place my hands on it slowly.
Race Change – Devil

Selecting Yes I mentally wait to feel the changes in my body. It felt like…..nothing. No special physical change was visible at first, until I felt my magic power grow like a dam was broken through by the heavy torrents of an ocean.

So I just barely grew a new pair of wings. Good for me. This way if I get more powerful, I will catch less attention until I grow another pair of wings. I can always say that the 7th and 8th wings were about to grow when I turned into a Devil. Gives me a good reason to hide behind. Still, me growing stronger like this is bound to garner attention. I can't have that until I have enough support from high level Devils or I will just get caught in some 'unfortunate accident'. That is something that I absolutely wish to avoid.
"Your name is Shin-chan right? Ne ne, do you like Magical Girls? Are you a fan of Miracle Levia-tan? I'll give you an autograph if you ask me nicely." She comes close enough to almost touch me on my nose.
"Hello, yes my name is Shin Kageyami, nice to meet you. I am actually new to the underworld so I am not really aware of much around here. You are the first Magical Girl I have seen and I quite like it." I say giving the best impression of an awkward but genuine smile, my enhanced CHA stat showing its effect. She leans back and I draw a breath of relief. She might act all cute but she is a fucking Satan who can erase me on a whim.
"Oh, you're new here. Don't worry, if you're ever in trouble, hold your hands to your heart and call for Miracle Levia-tan and I will come to help." Okay, now I understand how Sona feels. Can't say I blame her at all.
"Huh." As I give out my award winning response, Sairaorg and Ajuka help me out of this predicament.
"Nice to meet you Serafall-sama. You seem to be doing well." I back up a few steps as Sairaorg takes a bullet for me. Thanks buddy, your sacrifice will be remembered well.
"Ah, Sairaorg-kun, did you come to meet me too?"
"Can't say that I did but I am definitely happy to meet you Serafall-sama." Nice save there.
"So Shin-kun, what are your hobbies?" She still persists in talking to me.
Okay, this is officially weird. A Satan like her has enough work and she already has Sona to peek on. The fact that she is still trying to get me to talk is because she is trying to get something out of me. Let's play it safe.
"I like reading, learning Magic and …..chess I guess. I am still trying out new hobbies, I might find something new soon." Lying out of my ass I spew out drivel trying to throw her off. Chess is Sona's hobby so I just have to divert her attention towards her and I can be free for now.
"What's with glasses wearing people and chess? Is it something that all glasses wearing people like?"
"I wouldn't know that now, would I? I know quite a few people who wear glasses and can't play chess to save their lives."
Thankfully God…. fuck that hurts….that stings really hard. Okay, Satan heard my prayer or in this case some other Satan heard my prayer and Zekram came in and pulled me out of the situation. Even Serafall won't play around with him.
"I see that you are done with the ceremony, Shin. Your High Class Devil Exams are scheduled to be in an hour. Get ready." With that he walks forward to talk to the Satans leaving me with my mouth slightly open and mentally cursing the old fool for his idiocy. One hour for an exam I don't have any idea about. How will that even work?
