Start By Becoming A Mangaka Chapter 980: Pact with a Magician

Pact with a magician!

Everyone seed to be interested in this topic since it was their first ti hearing it.

Yuuki only looked curiously at Rias since he didn't expect to bring this topic up suddenly.

"As everyone knows, our reputation has beco bigger with a lot of things that have happened lately," Rias said.

Everyone couldn't help but beca gloomy when they thought about the chaos in the underworld in the past. Luckily it was over and the damage wasn't that big with Yuuki helping them before.

"Because of that there are a lot of magicians that want to make a pact with us," Rias said.

"Umm... Why do they want to make a pact with us?" Issei was confused.

"Is it different from the contact that we have with normal humans?" Xenovia asked.

Rias shook her head and said, "No. It's different. The contract that we have done usually is different from a pact that we make with a magician."

"Why is it different?" Asia asked.

"Normally, for a normal contract we will do the thing that is being asked by humans and we receive remuneration from them, but a pact with a magician is different since it is bound to you until the magician is dead," Rias said.

Yuuki started to feel that the devil's contract was similar to a service business that would do anything for the contractor.

"Why do we need to make a pact with a magician?" Issei asked curiously.

"There are a lot of reasons such as they can help you during a battle, their research might be helpful to you, and a lot of things. But of course, that you need to choose your partner carefully or else if you choose a wrong partner, you might lose a lot of things and beco a laughing stock in the underworld," Rias said with a serious expression.

"....." Everyone seed to understand that this matter was serious.

"You should put your standards high," Rias said while looking at Yuuki.

Everyone also looked at Yuuki since in their minds he was the only magician who was strong enough to fight with a God.

"Why do magicians need to make a pact with a devil?" Yuuki asked curiously. He didn't see rit besides he could be with his girlfriend all the ti.

"That's a good question." Rias nodded and said, "But I am curious why you don't invite to make a pact with ."

"Because I don't know. This is the first ti I've heard of it," Yuuki said.

"You don't know?"

"Well, I am irregular from any magician. You might find different," Yuuki said.

They nodded since they wouldn't think that a normal magician would be able to defeat a God, especially the famous Loki.

"Let's see, there are three reasons why a magician has decided to make a pact with a devil," Rias said while raising her three fingers.

Everyone seed to listen to this explanation since they were also curious.

"First, protection. Usually, a magician uses a devil as their bodyguard. When the ti cos, having a powerful Devil behind their back will allow them to talk with their opponents if they are caught up in a quarrel," Rias said.

"If that happens then this magician isn't strong enough," Yuuki said.

"That's true." Xenovia nodded.

"How co that we're like a yakuza?" Issei asked with a strange expression.

Rias chuckled and said, "That's true. It's similar to a yakuza organization that asks for protection money." She looked at Yuuki to see his reaction.

Yuuki only raised both of his hands and didn't say anything.

There is a lot of strange business in this country and those business owners need soone to protect them since the police can't help that much sotis.

"Let's continue. The second is information. Magicians make pacts because they want to attain the techniques and knowledge of Devils. To make it clearer, the technical standards of the Underworld. These things will play a large role when Magicians do their research. Also, by making a pact with a Devil, they will be allowed to get items or resources cheaper by having an equal exchange," Rias said.

Yuuki nodded when he heard this reason since it was normal in his opinion.

"Lastly, public eminence. They make a pact with a Devil for their own status. Making a pact with a powerful Devil will bring great fortune and success to them," Rias said.

"It seems that magicians have benefited a lot from this pact," Yuuki said.

"Yes. That's why you should make a pact with ," Akeno said while hugging him.

"Akeno!" Rias wanted to be the one who made a pact with Yuuki.

Akeno smiled and said, "There isn't a rule that a magician can't sign a pact with one devil, right?"

"...." Rias was stunned and could only sigh. Yuuki was very strong and had similar power to God. She didn't think that it was weird for him to sign a pact with a lot of devils. She shook her head and said, "Anyway, all of you can make a pact with a magician, but you need to be careful, alright?"

"Yes!"

"Prez, can I ask you sothing?" Issei asked.

"Yes." Rias nodded.

Issei thought for a while and imagined himself asking a perverted request to his contracted magician. Only suddenly he was punched and flew away.

BAAAM!!

"Pervert," Koneko said with an expressionless expression.

Rias, who saw Issei's expression, didn't need to guess since she knew what Issei wanted to ask her. "Cough! Anyway----" She wanted to say sothing but suddenly a magic circle appeared on the top of the grilling.

Everyone seed to be surprised when they saw the symbol of this magic circle.

"phisto's symbol?" Rias was surprised.

Then suddenly a middle-aged man with gelled hair, which is a mixture of red and blue. He has heterochromia; his left eye is blue, while the right is red. He appeared in a hologram while smiling gentlemanly toward all of them. "Hello Rias-chan, It has been a while."

"phisto Pheles-sama." Rias nodded.

Yuuki looked at this middle-aged man and wondered whether this person was Akane's boss.
