As ray and anos walk towards each other with swords in their hand, you see 2 girls following behind anos. A misfit with short white hair with long bangs and a royal with blond hair. They looked like sisters with their ribbons and hair ties, but it seemed like they were of different social classes. Even though you were 3 floors above them, you could see the blond girls demon eyes shining through her iris. You immediately knew she had the demon eyes of destruction, something you read about when you were training at bodiam. Your curiosity sparked as you became intrigued to find out how dangerous and strong that power entails and how a girl like her was able to inherit those demon eyes. Right before they caught up to anos, you decided that it was time for you to make an introduction so you teleported onto the courtyard. Within seconds, you appear beside ray, which causes the two girls and Ray to react. Surprisingly, anos was unfazed by your appearance and he only smirked as he was looking at you. You couldn't help but feel hypnotized by his piercing red eyes as he was looking at you. Ray eventually breaks you out of your trance.
"How nice of you to finally drop in. you came just in time for the highlight of the show!" Ray seemed excited as he looked back at anos ready to spar against him.
"I figured you'd need help since 3 against 1 isnt exactly a fair match. Don't think I'm doing this for you though. I just want to see what this guy is made of."
Anos interrupts as he points towards you. "Just so you both know, I won't be holding back now, especially since now you have her" You chuckle at his remark. Within seconds, you draw a nearby sword from the ground. You always liked a challenge.
"Bring it on." you say as you draw your sword up. Just as you were about to strike, Melheis, stops you by using a collection spell to take away all the swords. You turn to see Melheis, ivis ,emilia and the principal on the 3rd floor of the stadium, which catches you off guard because you thought melheis and ivis were back at bodiam. Everyone in the courtyard had fear plastered on their faces except for you, Anos, and Ray. You were used to melheis and ivis, but you weren't sure why anos and ray were so nonchalant about the elders.
"Everyone please go back to your classrooms. This lesson has been cancelled. Y/N please come to the principal's office. I need a word with you." Melheis says sternly. You knew you were going to get lectured so you roll your eyes. Just as you were walking out of the courtyard, you passed anos on your way out. As you were walking by anos, you could see him smiling as he speaks to you using telepathy.
"It's good seeing you again. I missed you..."
Upon hearing this in your head, you abruptly turn your direction to anos with a confused look on your face. You had never met anos before so what did he mean by seeing you again? And he misses you? A million questions run through your head as you get escorted to the principal's office by a bunch of demon guards that Melheis assigned to look after you. You were able to sneak away from them earlier at first, but now there are double the amount of guards around you than this morning. As you're standing infront of the principals desk with ray by your side, you were ready to get punished for what happened in the courtyard, but it meant nothing to you because nothing can be worse than tortures you experienced at Bodiam. Luckily the principal let us off with a warning. We were eventually sent back to our new class, but you had to stop your guards from going in since it would draw way more attention to you than you needed. As you and Ray stand in the front of the class as Emilia introduces us, your eyes quickly land on Anos as he's sitting beside the two girls from earlier. He had a large smirk on his face as you and him made eye contact.
You hear words transmitting through your head again. "Even after 2000 years, you're still the same as you were before..." Anos had sent you another telepathic message, but you weren't pleased. It made you irritated that he was acting all high and mighty as if he knew you.
"I don't know who you are and don't act like you know me because you don't. This is your last warning so don't rest me" you respond through telepathy to anos. He couldn't help but chuckle once he heard your message, which made you clench your fists ready to swing at him right then and there. Just as your demon eyes lit up, ready to light Anos on fire, Emilia calls on you to introduce yourself to the class since you'd be assigned as one of the team leaders of the class.
As much as you hated school, you had to follow through with your mission to find the demon king and end him or else you'd just continue to be a prisoner and object for the demon king. So you had to make sure your cover, the fact that you were raised and sent by the 7 emperors to spy on the school, doesn't blow even if you hated the idea that you'd be working with weaklings.
"My name is Y/N. i guess it's nice to meet everyone" Yeah right. You hated the idea that you had to see anos's obnoxious face AND be forced to talk to a bunch of misfits and arrogant royals. Just as you turn your attention to Ray to hear his introduction, he's already gone from beside you and walking towards Anos and the two girls you saw before. As he's walking up the aisle stairs, I could only hear Emilia gasping at the idea that Ray had declined her request to have Ray as a team leader.
"Are you out of your mind? Refusing to become a team leader with your abilities? You can't!"
"I'm not into that kind of thing." You chuckle as you place your hand around your hip because you weren't shocked that ray did something like this. Just as ray is walking towards Anos, you get a sudden flashback of a bunch of teens playing on a field near the mountains. There was a silver haired boy and a black haired boy lying down to a young girl with long H/C hair in pigtails. Their faces were blurred, but you could see that they were happy with each other. Within seconds, the beautiful view turns into rain and thunderstorms as young teens were now grown up and fighting alongside each other against spirits and humans in a war. Something about the girl seemed familiar to you as if she was you, but in a different universe. You eventually snap out of your thoughts as you see Anos rejecting Ray's request to join his team.
"Pass. If you want to have an easy time of it, then just join any other team. If you insist on becoming my subordinate, then show that you have the proper amount of resolve."
Ray was quick to respond to anos' statement. " Should I kneel down and kiss your shoes?"
Anos interest seemed to peak when Ray said that. "You're really gung ho if you're so ready to take a kick to the face."
Ray's facial gesture softens as he hears anos' response. "You sure are pushy arent you Mr. Anos?"
You scan the room to see if there was any signs of other potentially strong students. No one in the class stood out nor did they have a strong energy radiating from them, except from anos. Your eyes were locked on anos as he started talking to the misfit with short white hair with long bangs, who was apparently named Misha.
"When's the next team competition exam?" Misha responds to anos nonchalantly "tomorrow" Anos seemed to be up to something. "Is that right? Misa, you guys go ahead and join ray's team" Suddenly a brunette misfit with pigtails stood up. "If you say so, sir anos."
"Work together to challenge me. If you can acquit yourself accordingly, I will allow you to become my subordinate." The ego anos had was so unbearable, but somewhat appealing to you. You slowly walk up the aisle stairs to meet ray and anos at the top. You smile as you look at the both of them facing each other.
"Why should anyone prove themselves to you in order to be your subordinate. Who do you think you are?" Both their attention goes towards you.
Anos responds with a smile on his face "well of course I am anos voldigoad, the demon king and the strongest demon in the realm"
"That's a bold statement since I've seen stronger magic elsewhere and you are by far not the demon king so that's a stretch" You say as you give him a snarky remark.
"Oh really? Then let's settle this on the field. You'll join Ray's team and if you win, then I will never use magic again and I'll leave this academy." His deal was an all or none type of deal.
You knew there would be a catch to it.
"And what happens if you win then"
"If I win, then you and ray will be my subordinate, but also you'll have to go with me somewhere" The fact that anos didn't specify where he was going to take you, made you step back a little because he could kill you for all you know.
"Where will you take me. I need to know or else I wont agree to this."
"I cannot tell you, but it'll be somewhere you wont forget."
Before you could respond, Ray interrupts. "We'll do it. I want to go up against you so challenge accepted."
"I look forward to it." Anos says as he looks at you with a smirk on his face. I swear to god Ray. You were about to slap Ray for agreeing to the challenge without asking you, but Emilia interrupts our conversation to start class. It was finalized that i'd be in ray's team to go against Anos. You sigh as you take a seat in the front, but you couldn't help trying to sneak a glance at anos every once in a while. There definitely was something about him, but you couldn't put your finger on it.
A/N: hello!Just started a new job so I might be late with the weekly postings, but I hope everyone is enjoying the story so far. i know the anime switches between Ray/Lay, but I decided to keep using Ray instead. I was wondering if ya'll would be interested in some lemon/adult chapters? IDK if that'd be too much so let me know if you'd be interested in more adult content/lemon/fluff. Feel free to comment your thoughts so thanks!
