There are so many opportunities that were opened up thanks to my rank promotion to the High-class, such as I could now create more formidable spells and perhaps, creating my own magic circle might beco much easier!
"I can see you are excited well, I can understand the sa. Feeling like your hard-work is finally paying off and seeing its results with your own eyes is nothing short of satisfaction." My sense of euphoria were suddenly interrupted by Zekram as he chuckled on my side, narrating his own share of experience.
"Now, let's not get off the trail. Earlier I told you there was a reason why I invited you here and even told you my most deepest secret that could've risked my entire life and those involved."
Sounds to like he's trying to earn my trust by starting with him putting his supposed trust on just so I do the sa in return.
Interesting. What could he have seen in aside from my philosophical views? A man of his stature could've offered many things such as wealth, ca, and even won yet he resorted to winning my trust instead.
What does this an? It ans he's looking for a long-term friendship with , one that would conceivably reach for around hundred or more years.
You see, things such as wealth, fa or won are nothing but materials that can either be disposed of or grow bored of.
But trust? Trust lasts a lifeti, it can even be brought until death.
"You see, the reason why I discovered how you're a human aside from your distinct human sll is because of the project that Ajuka reported to a few weeks ago, sothing about using these small artifacts to turn other races into devils." A proud smirk bore on his face, as if Ajuka was his son or sothing.
"I was fascinated by his invention and imdiately wanted him to test it out. Although I'm quite disappointed that he didn't tell about you, as I have to discover where you ca from by myself but still, now that I'm looking at you, I'm proud to say that the population problem of the devil race has been resolved." He then continued.
"Did I also ntion how talented you are? Not many devils can ascend to higher ranks as fast as you do. From what I can rember, there are only four individuals who can achieve such feat…" Just as I was curious about those said individuals, his face suddenly showed a surprised expression before turning back to normal.
"Speaking of those individuals, it seems like they've finally arrived." Smiling softly, I heard the large stone doors bearing intricate carvings, groan under pressure as it opens up, widening the gap between little by little.
I watched intently as I was curious about the supposed 'allies' of Zekram, who are willing to risk their entire pillar family just by joining a rebelling faction.
"Eh?"
However, the mont each individuals entered one by one, my face contorted into shock at the revelation.
So of them were unfamiliar but I can see three familiar faces among them.
First is Ajuka, who seed just as surprised as I was upon seeing each other.
Second was Gideon, the head of the Sitri family, who looked at and then at Zekram before speaking.
"I see you have finally invited him. You work so fast, Zekram." He nodded his head in approval.
Oh right, he was the one who told Zekram about my philosophical perspective.
The last one, following behind Gideon however was what shocked to the core and the sa goes to the other party.
"Sera?"
"Eh!? ChamCham?"
***
(??? PoV)
From the mont I was born, I already knew I was special.
According to my mom, at the mont of my birth, I can already use our clan's trait, a feat that no one other than has ever done in the entire devil race.
Then at the tender age of 13, I already mastered our clan's trait to the point that even my personal teacher was defeated from .
And now, I'm 17 and getting stronger everyday that even my father admitted that I now surpassed him in clan trait strength.
Speaking of my father, he's currently standing in front of , telling everything I need to know while we're on our way to the hidden eting place.
It's been almost a year since our family joined this Anti-Satan faction. At first, I was skeptical and was even prepared to convince my father of how it's such a bad idea however when I finally t him, everything changed.
Zekram Bael, head of the most prestigious clan aside from the Four Satan's clans, Bael Clan.
During our first eting, his words went upon and touched my soul as he narrated the dark and grim future of our race if the Great War continues.
Initially, I was already against the Great War itself even before I t Zekram. His words not only justified my feelings but it also resonated deep within , intensifying my sentint towards the war.
Zekram was right, the Great War should be stopped, the Satans will die sooner or later and once they're gone, the Big G of the Bible would soon set his sights on us and would no doubt, put effort in eliminating our race.
Thankfully Zekram was able to formulate a plan to prevent such a thing from happening.
So now here I am, standing in front of my father's back while my father was having a conversation with two other n.
"Sirzechs." Hearing my na, I turned around and saw a smart friend of mine, his spiky green hair along with that aloof aura that he always carries around makes him easily recognizable.
Ajuka Astaroth from the Astaroth clan.
"Ajuka…" I smiled, though it soon strained when Ajuka sighed in exhaustion.
When has there ever been a day he wasn't tired?
"Lord Zekram just approved of my project. It's finally ti to get it tested on a few humans." He spoke with an indifferent tone, though I feel like he's hiding sothing from , I just can't seem to put a finger on it.
"Oh no, she's here." Suddenly, Ajuka's face turned pale as a certain familiar voice sounded out from our behind.
"Ajuka! Sirzechs!" Oh, I also realized who this is.
Coming from behind us, was a familiar girl with her distinctive purple bead eyes and long hair.
Hailing from the Sitri clan, was Serafall Sitri herself, the heir of her clan.
I was already expecting her to give us her usual rough hug that even choked us one ti however that didn't happen.
Instead, she just stood there and waved her hand happily at us.
This…this is not the Serafall I used to know!
"Serafall…It's good to see you again." I smiled back at her, greeting her all while using my senses to see if soone is impersonating her or worse, our little secret was found out!
However, much to my surprise, although her demonic energy's aura was the sa as usual, but her reserves have increased dramatically!
What does that an? It seems like Serafall has finally reached the sa level as , Ajuka and Falbium.
She's the last one to step into the Ultimate class. Although she was the last, I still feel happy for her, after all, there are the four of us now on the level of Ultimate-class, which ans the strength of our newly ford faction has also increased.
"Congratulations Serafall, it seems like you're not far behind us now." I continued, gathering Ajuka's attention in which he just responded with a nod.
"Heh~ you noticed? I'm so cool right?" She placed her hands on her hips and smirked in triumphed.
Hah~ I wish I had a sister as cute as her. No doubt I would dote and spoil her with everything I have.
"Not only that, but I also made a cooler friend than the both of you! He's also my first and only Best Friend! His position is higher than the both of you!" Oh, now that caught my attention, who in the Underworld could possibly befriend soone who is known as annoying and troubleso to deal with?
Whoever that is, allow to applause you for your achievent that only a few can achieve.
"Really? Can I et this person soday?" I asked, curious about this person and see if this person has…other motives for befriending Serafall.
I won't let anyone take advantage of my friend, using her innocence to gather her trust.
"Sure sure! Just rember though, his na is Chamber and only Chamber! You must never and should never call him anything other than his own na!" Suddenly her mood turned 180 as she reprimanded us both for sothing we haven't done yet.
"Only myself is allowed to call him ChamCham, and that's because we're Best Friends! Only Best Friends can call each other with nicknas!"
So they're calling each other with nicknas? I seed to have underestimated their closeness to each other.
Looks like I need to run my investigation on this person and discover his motives.
With how things are finally going well for our faction, I can't let sothing this small slip, only for it to turn into a bigger threat despite its initial small threat.
We then resud out conversation with sotis leading the conversation by asking things such as how did they t each other? How strong is he? And many other things.
Although I learned a lot from her, I could sll that she's hiding quite a few details from . What further vexes however was how calm Ajuka was in this kind of situation.
Is he really the smart guy I know who invented sothing that solved the devil's thousand-year-long problem?
How can Ajuka not see that there's sothing wrong with this 'guy' that beca friends with Serafall all of a sudden.
For a few tis I tried to gesture for him to help with this one but most of the ti he just fell deep into his thinking, falling into a state where he would unconsciously mutter what he's thinking out loud.
Thankfully, a certain bald man, with his height being taller than us finally arrived along with the head of the Glasya-Laboyas clan.
Falbium Glasya-Laboyas, the heir of the Glasya-Laboyas clan, who at the sa ti, stands on the sa level as , Ajuka and now Serafall.
The four of us were close friends, mainly thanks to our talents of not only being born stronger than average but also growing stronger than average.
"Falbium." Interrupting Serafall who now can't shut her mouth about this Chamber guy, I waved my hand at the bald headed man, who lazily raised his eyebrows as a greet back to .
Sigh, why is every single one of them have sothing that is far from normal, added to their personalities? Am I the only normal one among the four of us?
First is Ajuka, who just can't seem to care about anything aside from his own inventions and a peaceful quiet life.
Then there's Serafall, soone who just can't seem to exhaust herself as if she's passively recovering her energy most of the ti.
Lastly, Falbium, the most exhausted, laziest and slothful among the four of us. Let guess, if his father didn't convinced him to co and participate in the eting, no doubt this bald guy would be found sleeping on his bed for 24 consecutive hours per day.
And there's . I'm pretty much normal and I don't have any unique traits in my personality that would define as unique compared to other people.
"It seems like everyone's here now. Let's proceed with the Roundhold table room." I heard my father talk out loud once the head of the Agares clan finally ca.
A teleportation lit up beneath our feet before consuming us all, bringing us to the secret location of the Roundhold table.
