章 9: Cunning Devil Lady.
After he slept peacefully for the first time he felt fully recovered. He checked up on Daisy and saw she had totally recovered. That was for the best, but today was going to be a weird day. He sighed as he would have to pay attention in school again.
'Who would have guessed that I would have to take 2 years of High School after finishing it?'
He got up and put on his unfirm and now that he got a chance measured himself. He used to be 6'5 and now he was 6'6 which was not much of an increase. When he looked at himself in the mirror he felt he looked a bit more handsome.
"I am glad I got hit by that truck. Thank you Truck-kun and Lady Persephone."
He kept his shirt unbuttoned and showed off his undershirt which was a Jurassic Park Shirt. Persephone decided to give him one souvenir from his world and he was thankful. He left his apartment to head to Kuoh Academy with the goal to pay attention so he would not have to work more.
On the way to school, he started to pass fellow students who seemed to have noticed something different about him. The girls began to gossip about him as they were looking at his arms and his abbs.
"Is it just me or did he get taller and hunkier."
One girl whispered to her friends. They all nodded as they looked at him.
"No, I see it too. He looks taller. His hair looks so soft. I want to touch it."
"No, I do."
Vander on the other hand was not paying attention.
'Should I have steak for dinner or chicken?'
He passed by Issei who saw that Vander also did not button his shirt.
'I knew I was doing something right. The ladies are all fawning over me.'
"See guys, the girls love my new style."
Motahama kicked him in the ass.
"You wish fool. They all are all looking at Vander."
Issei followed the gazes of all the girls and saw that his friend was telling the truth. He tried to salvage his meager pride a little at least.
"At least they looked at me while they tried to look at him."
Suddly one girl walked past him and snorted at him. Just that one sound caused him more emotional damage than he expected. His two friends laughed at him while Vander glanced at him.
Vander smiled at him and gave him a thumbs up.
"It's ok short kid. I am sure their is a rich gradma that will take you. Their is always hope even for the hopeless."
Everyone broke out laughing as they looked at Issei. Even his friends were crying tears as they rolled on the ground. Vander did not even mean it as a insult as he wanted to give him some hope. However, Issei looked like his soul had been robbed from him.
Vander looked to the sky with a smile.
"I did a good deed. Help the special needs kids."
Everyone laughed even harder as they really thought Issei was ill. As for his two friends they were long gone as they did not want to be around Issei at the moment. Issei cursed as he ran inside shooting glares at Vander who only waved him goodbye with a kind smile.
His smile died as soon as Issei left as he thought of something.
'Who was that again? Must not be important if I forgot.'
He walked inside and went to his first period. Japanes History where the same short old teacher expected Vander to sleep through his class.
'Did he get taller and even scarier?'
He focused on the class and noticed how Vander did not sleep through his class. He had a notebook where he took notes on whatever the lesson was about. With his memory issues improving, he would be better off than before.
However he noticed how the girl with glasses kept staringat him from time to time and Issei was glaring at him. He could feel no malice so he ignored at it was not very important. He had class to focus on or he would have to learn 100,000 years of Devil history.
'No way in Hell will I do something like that.'
However he was still prone to boutes of forgetfulness, so he had to take notes. If he forgot he could just read his notes in a flash to remind himself.
'I should take a notebook with important stuff now.'
He did this for all his classes and actually started to do his work. He only struggled with Japanese history and Literiture, but everything else was a breeze. At the end of the day all his teachers were shocked as for the past month he had not done a single assignment.
Once he got done with the boring school work he went to the Occult Reaserch club where everyone was waiting for him. He noticed some people he had not seen before in the club, but he could tell they were Devil's.
They all glanced at him with some intrest as they were informed of him being Grayfia's first Peerage member. Sona's eyes winded a little as she could feel danger from Vander. If she had to compare it, she felt like she was a kitten and Vander was a Saber Tooth Tiger.
Rias decided to introduce them to him.
"Vander, they are the Student Council of Kuoh Academy along with being Devils. She is my friend, Sona Sitri from the Sitire Clan."
Vander glanced at all of them before he sat down.
"I see. I am Vander, Queen Piece of Grayfia Lucifuge."
Sona walked in front of Vander as she extended her hand to him.
"I can see why she turned you. My name is Sona."
He shook her hand which made her realize how tiny she was in front of him. Rias glanced at the new member with intrest.
"You got a new Piece Sona?"
"I did. Saji."
The blonde guy walked forward with a big grin to his teeth.
"My name is Genshirou Saji. I took 4 Pawn Pieces though."
Vander nodded.
"And I took a Mutation Queen Piece."
Hearing that made Saji feel like his brag was for nothing. His face went bright red as he felt he made a fool out of himself. Sona decided to talk about why she was actually here.
"I heard what happend Rias."
Rias face dropped when she heard that.
"You heard right. However, I do not intend to simply accept my fate. However, I do not think you would have come here just to see Vander so what is it?"
"Your right. I wanted to ask how confident you were in beating him in a Game."
Rias glanced at Vander as she decided to be honest.
"While he is not in my peerage Vander has been left in my charge. I asked him to help us my sparring with him and I can say we are going to go on a training trip for the next two weeks. He also has to go to the Underworld to have something made."
Hearing that gave Sona an Idea.
"That is not a bad idea Rias. Vander would you mind if I followed along with you. I would also like to request to train with Vander. I feel that he alone can beat us all."
Kiba and Koneko sighed as it was true. As for Saji he did not want to admit it, but if Sona said that then it must be true. Vander decided to agree as it would give him more chances to use his familiars and more people to beat up.
"All of you are welcome if you want. However if you want to improve, I think I will have to use Daisy. If you die I am very sorry."
Hearing he would be using Daisy to train them made Kiba, Koneko, Akeno, and Rias nervous, but excited. However Sona and her peerage were confused.
"Daisy?"
Vander smiled as he walked out.
"You will find out."
Rias waved goodbye to him.
"Vander, the trip will be soon so everyone clear your schedules."
Sona gave the same order.
"We will also be going. We got to go trough the trains though."
Rias shook her head.
"Vander has free access to teleport in the Underworld as Grayfia's peerage member. We don't have to bother at all. Isn't that awesome?"
Even Sona and Rias did not have that right. They were certainly jealous so they began to plan the trip to the Underworld. As for Vander he was going to be busy taming one more of his pets in the following days. He would make it a suprice for them so they would have plenty of training.
They saw his big grin and they felt fear at what he would throw at them. While they prepared for the trip by getting permision he kept doing what he had been doing for the new few days. He focused on school to get it over with and then spent the rest of his time training with his Dinos and taming one more of them.
Durring the week, Akeno and Rias were teaching him teleportation magic so he could teleport them. They taught him Devil Magic which involved imagination and magic circles in some cases. As he had Demonic Mana and not Demonic Power he had it even easier than expected.
Once the entire school week had gone by, everyone gathered during the Early morning. Vander wore a black t-shirt and a pair of basketball shorts. Everyone else was still wearing there school unfirm making him confused.
"Why are you all wearing your uniforms?"
Rias sighed when she saw him.
"Because you are supposed to wear your uniform you know?"
He shrugged.
"It's fine isn't it? Now, I see that everyone is now here."
All of Sona's peerage and Rias's were here so it was safe to go ahead. Vander vengan to use his Demonic Mana to open a teleport circle under there feet which allowed them to feel it. They could feel it was similar to Demonic Power, but seemed stronger.
Rias walked toward Vander and placed her hand on his back.
"I will send you the location. You haven't been to the Underworld so this will be the best way."
"Alright."
She sent him the exact quordintates of the Gremory estate and once he got that location he activated the teleport circle. He did not forget to take his black shadow container of shed material for his weapons though.
"Here we go."
A massive flash of black red light flashed and they all appeared infront of a massive Eurapean style mansion. It was a truly extraordinary home whihc made Vander frown.
"Whie I live in a crappy apartment, you live in a mission? Where is mine?"
Rias snorted as she found that funny.
"You can get one if you become a HIgh Class Devil and get a lot of Contracts. That or you can win in the Rating game, but Grayfia does not participate in it."
Akeno patted him on the back.
"I don't live in a massion either."
Sona on the other hand had been here many times.
"It is a nice home Rias. Always looks beautiful."
"Thank you Sona. Come on in then."
She walked forward and opened the front doors. To greet them were several maids and butlers that bowed at them. Vander saw Grayfia, and a another woman who looked just like Rias here so he walked away from Rias and Sona to stand infront of Grayfia.
She looked at Vander with a polite look.
"Vander."
"Hi, old hag."
She clenched her fist and before he could react hit him straight in the solar plexus. He fell to his knees coughing his lungs out. Rias shook her head seeing that as only Vander was brave enough to call Grayfia an old hag. As for the woman next to her, she chuckled a little.
Sona and her peerage were totally shocked that he got off with only a light tap. They missed the small smile that appeared on Grayfia's. Rias looked at her mother with a small smile.
"Mother, it is so good to see you again."
Venalana hugged her daughter with a smile.
"I see you are doing well Rias. Now, it seems that Grayfia got a good peerage member."
Vander got up as he looked at her.
"Do you see the injust treatment I recive. I was only saying the truth."
Grayfia just shook her head at him as he did not learn. Everyone heard another loud impact and they saw Vander falling to the ground coughing again. They wished him the best as he truly did not fear anything.
Grayfia decided to stop playing around.
"Please come in. RIas, your father is waiting for you in the dinning room and Sirzechs will be coming later."
"Brother is coming here?"
Saji was not curious about who her father was as he had not met him before. As for Vander he got up while holding his waste.
"Ow, that hurt."
Grayfia was secretly a little surprised as when she hit him, she felt she was hitting something impossibly hard. The second time she could swear his Demonic Power(Demonic Mana) moved to stregteh the spot her fist landed.
She led them all to the dinning room where Zeoticus was waiting. He smiled at Rias and her peerage.
"Welcome all. Rias, it is so good to see you."
"Yes father. It has been a while since we have spoke."
Rias did not hate her father as he was just doing his duty as head of the Gremory family. Zeoticus took a long look at Vander who met his gaze.
"Sir, I am not into men."
Zeoticus was not expecting that so his face for a second turned weird. He laughed it off as he sat down at the table.
"Neither am I. I was just curious about Grayfia's first peerage member. Especialy a Mutation Queen piece."
Vander placed his black shadow bag into his own shadow and sat down at the table. That made Zeoticus look at that as shadow magic was not very common.
"I see. Do I meet your standards?"
"It is not my standards that matter, but Grayfia's."
Grayfia spoke up after he said that.
"He exceeded them all otherwise I would not have taken him in as my first member. Now, everyone please sit. The meal will be served soon."
Everyone sat down as they all had some small talk. Zeoticus asked some strange questions to Vander which made Vander feel weird.
'Is he coming on to me?'
In reality, Zeoticus only wanted to see if Vander could be a better husband than Riser. All of his questions were aswred in ways that made him disappointed. Vander had zero intrest in his daughter or any of the woman around him.
Venalan stepped on his foot making him shut up.
"So Vander, Why did you want to becoe a Devil?"
"Power I guess. I was already strong, but one can never have enough of it. Plus, living a long time also is attractive."
"Are you interested in anyone these days? A young man like you must certainly have at least dated before?"
Vander shook his head.
"Not really. Before meeting Rias and more on Devils my mind was always kind of broken. I have a small issue, but I am getting it fixed recently. So, I wouldn't say I am interested in anyone enough for something like that."
"I see."
She glanced at Grayfia with a small smile.
"Do you know that Grayfia has a daughter around your age?"
Rias and Akeno opened their mouths to say something, bt Venalan shot them a look making them stay quite. Grayfia did not react to that, but she did look at Vander who nodded with a I see look on his face.
"No, but I expected her to be a mother. She does give off a motherly air to her. Especilay when she hits me."
Venalana had an idea. If Rias would not intrest him maybe Grayfia's daughter would.
"Well she will be coming later today with my son, and I am sure she would like to meet you. You are her mother's first peerage member. How about you two walk around the town after this?"
"Sure. I don't mind. However, would she even want to talk to me?"
Venalana nodded.
"Why would she not? Ever since she found out she has been saying she wants to meet you. Also, she is a hobbiest who enjoys to collect rare and powerful familiars. She already had 3 soul bonds with some very rare creatures she found. I am sure you two could have a few things in common to talk about."
Hearing that made Vander quite curious about her.
"Sure, I will talk to her. Might be fun to talk to a fellow summoner."
Now that she thought about it her daughter and Vander were very similar. They were both extremely talented, and the shared a hobby of beast tamming. Her daughter was one of the most talented Devils she ever seen as she inherited both her talent for ice magic and her fathers Energy of Desutrction.
Unlike her son which had little to no talent for Ice magic. She would not mind if her daughter and Vander got to know each other a little.
'Let's see how they get along for starters.'
So the scheme of Venalana to get Vander hitched to a member of the Gremory Famly began.
