Chapitre 26: The futures
The girls were surprised by the small sudden pressure that fell on them when I use touki and was even more surprised when Sairaorg and his queen made his way over.
...
"Greetings, I'm Savion Astaroth" I greeted holding out my hand. It seems he wasn't use to much polite greetings and took a few seconds, seemingly judging my intentions before formally introducing himself. Really can't blame him for being cautious with all the shit he's been through.
"Sairaorg Bael and this is my queen Kuisha Abaddon, pleased to meet you" he greeted, shaking my hand while Kuisha bowed a little.
"You're strong, nothing like what I've heard about you" I commented. He looked at me in surprised again "So that slight touki flare I felt wasn't just my imagination" he said as his surprised look slowly turn into a grin.
Hmm...this is good, he's either a very good judge of character or me being able to use touki is already giving him a favorable opinion on me. Either way this great.
...
"Umm..." Rias spoke up, breaking the odd tension in the atmosphere around us.
"OH! I apologize for intruding on your conversation"
"No-No it's completely fine, we just didn't get to introduce ourselves is all" Rias immediately replied.
*Ahem* "Rias Gremory, a pleasure to meet you"
"Sona Sitri, nice to meet you as well"
Seekvaira didn't need to introduce herself as it was clear they knew each other before.
"A pleasure to meet you two as well, it would seem the rumors about you three were false after all, being able to supress your strength so well" he commented, taking the girls by surprise while I just grin, being able to sense that we were hiding our strength and considering how well the girls were hiding it, was all the proof the girls, especially Seekvaira needed to prove what I said about him being powerful was all true and considering that the girls could also sense that he too is suppressing his strength, now that he was right beside them was another clear proof that he is the real deal. The same could be said about his queen Kuisha Abaddon who even though is currently the weakest amongst us is still very powerful as compared to some of the devils currently in the event.
"It seems you were right Savion" Seekvaira commented. My grin only got wider. "Indeed I am, but it seems we have more pressing matters at hand" I said and before anyone could reply.
"Greetings brother" Sairaorg suddenly spoke up and greeted his half brother Magdaran Bael. The current heir to the Bael clan.
"Greetings to you as well Sairaorg" Magdaran greeted back neutrally, he face almost devoid of emotions and his eyes were so dead that it was almost haunting. I couldn't help but pity the poor son of a bitch, all his life he has never ever received any form of love from his parents and family members. No one cared for him beyond the fact that he was heir except for Sairaorg, his half brother who he was made to hate by his father which then led him to hate himself for it. Just a lot of hate is involved in his life.
"And a pleasure to meet the four of you my name is Magdaran Bael" he greeted us as well and we did the same. "Please don't mind me, I just made my way to introduce myself" he continued and just left.
"That was quite odd" Sona commented.
"I'm sure it was father who made him do that" Sairaorg said and it kinda made sense.
...
After Magdaran left, the conversation started flowing smoothly, the girls seem to get along rather nicely, it's good to see Rias and Sona making friends outside of their peerage. Seekvaira was surprised when the girls mentioned the trianing they do on a regular basis. It isn't like she didn't train herself, as her ability to manipulate time isn't an easy thing to master, but it was clear she doesn't train as hard as my girls. The good news about her knowing about the training is that she'd definitely trained a lot harder herself, thus making herself stronger than she was in canon.
'I'm just directly and indirectly making everyone stronger at this point' I thought in amusement.
The mention of harsh training seems to give us more and more favorable opinion from Sairaorg and Kuisha. I even manage to struck a deal with Sairaorg to one day have a sparring match.
...
"So you're mainly hand to hand close combat fighter, you don't use weapons at all?" I asked. The girls were having a separate talk so I got my one on one time with him.
"Indeed, are you not the same or do you prefer weapons?"
"Does saying both answer your question, I find it better to always have options, focusing on only one aspect is good and all but I feel it makes me more exploitable, having other options guarantees a better chance of winning and coming out alive when facing an enemy."
He nodded, clearly thinking about what I just said. Why am I saying such a thing, well, I just think it's a waste Sairaorg didn't use the battle-axe form of Regulus, it would have made him a lot more dangerous then he already is. So, it is up to me to try and influence him into doing exactly that.
Just imagine Sairaorg swinging a giant battle-axe with all his strength. A scary but glorious sight it will be. Though I don't know if he has already met Regulus or not.
"You should learn to wield some weapons yourself, even if you prefer hand to hand combat, it's never a bad thing to keep your options open" I continued as he slowly nodded, clearly contemplating on what I just said. Good, at least he's thinking about it.
...
Unbeknownst to the Savion and his group, they have been the center of attention to a particular group.
"It brings back memories of when we were young doesn't it" Sirzechs said to his long time friends and fellow Satans as he fixed his attention to his sister's little group.
"HEY! I'm still Young!" Serafall said, a bit irritated.
"Right...and I don't sleep a lot" Falbium retorted making the other two chuckle, that is until Serafall glared at them.
*cough* "In all seriousness, we might just be looking at the next big leaders of the underworld" Ajuka commented also looking at their direction.
"You might just be right Ajuka, I could tell they have a lot of potential" Fulbium commented and he isn't just saying this just for the sake of saying it, he's the Satan in charge of Military affairs and has seen his fair share of devils that shows no potential to above average potential, the point where he could easily judge the growth potential of any devils.
"The future seems bright" Serafall commented
"Indeed, they are the future of the underworld but it is up to us to nurture and help them grow without much complications" Sirzechs again added with the other three nodding in agreement and understand what Sirzechs meant when he said complications.
The Satan knew just how rotten the underworld has become. It was the reason why Rias, Sona and Savion were not forced to go to school in the underworld and were appoint to supervise Kuoh when they got older so they could not be swept away by the corruption while still learning how to supervise and take care of the area under them.
